No, .BXY is an archive of files, not a disk image.  The Wolf3d images
available from Sheppyware are collections of files you'd have to move
onto a disk (or image) you already have, like a hard drive or CF drive.
 CiderPress is still a great option for doing that.  But they won't all
fit on an 800k floppy image.

Sheppy has a .2MG that contains all the files in one shot.  You can
just attach that as a secondary hard drive on your emulator to see how
it works.  But if you want to move it to a real mass storage device
using ADTPro, you'd have to ship the image up to the PC, copy the
Wofl3d files onto the image, then send it back down to the IIgs.
