That's correct. You can copy the diskettes with any "disk copying"
program, but not with, say, the DOS "copy" command since there is no
DOS filesystem. Alternatively, you can use RAWRITE (or "dd" under any
Unix) to make additional copies of the disk from the disk image file.
Share and enjoy Hot Ziggity,
