Yeah, that's pretty much the idea.. I think there will be some more
options required when using "-p" to put a file into a disk image.
We'll probably have to include the file-type info (.SYS, .BIN, etc for
ProDOS and B/A/I etc for DOS 3.3) plus a starting address (for some
types, like .SYS/.BIN in ProDOS and B in DOS 3.3) and maybe a "raw"
mode like a2tools has.

so maybe something like:

	-p <source> <destpath> [type] [$address] <imagename>

Same thing here; not using SWT or anything, just the storage classes.
