This file contains information on the various disk-image formats used 
with MSX (emulators).

The most common image is .DSK made with DCOPY.EXE

*  Utilities to convert the various formats: *

conversion		: programm to use
-----------------------------------------
.ddi  -> .DSK		: ddi2dsk
.ddi  -> 3.5 inch	: diskdupe
.DSK <-> 3.5 INCH	: DCOPY
.img  -> .dsk		: delete first byte
.msx <-> 3.5 inch 	: updownc
.msx  -> .DSK    	: msx2dsk
.td0 <-> 3.5 inch 	: teledisk
.cp2 <-> 3.5 inch 	: snatchit+copyiipc
.xsa  -> 3.5 inch	: f2d
.xsa <-  3.5 inch	: d2f
.xsa  -> .DSK		: xsc
.xsa <-  .DSK		: xsd
_____________________________________________________________________

.DSK	dcopy disk-image (no header)

.cp2	snatchit/copyiipc disk image
.ddi	diskdupe image=dsk + 4608 byte header with format information
.img	=dsk + 1 byte header (any byte)
.msx	updownc disk image (Korean?)
.td0	teledisk disk image
.xsa	f2d/d2f compressed disk image (XelaSoft Archive)

This toolbox was composed to be used on an IBM-compatable computer,
the conversion programs might be available for other platforms, and
some might work in an DPMI environment.

Also added in this toolkit are SPLITDSK to split big .DSK images into
720 Kb parts and WRDSK and RDDSK to read and write files from/in .DSK 
images. And PMARC + PMEXT to extract .PMA archives.
