6.2.2 Apple DiskCopy (.IMAGE)
Excerpted from "Dealing with Disk Images" available on the Apple Computer WWW site: "Disk Copy is an application program that creates reliable exact copies of floppy disks from a 3.5-inch master disk or from a disk image file on your hard disk. Disk Copy is used both to create the image files from a master floppy disk, and to create duplicate floppy disks from those image files. Although there is some similarity between disks duplicated from disk images and disks copied by dragging icons, the results are not identical. Floppy disks created from image files are exact duplicates, including the exact icon placement, appearance of all windows, and the correct name of the disk." Usually Apple System Software is distributed in this format.
DiskCopy images can contain MacOS, ProDOS and MS-DOS disks of 800K and 1.44Mb size. ProDOS DiskCopy images (usually 800K) are compatible with a number of emulators including Bernie ][ The Rescue, IIe, and XGS. http://www.apple.com.au/documents/aboutapple/dskimg.html
