[vcf-midatlantic] Disk management software for other operating systems

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
Let's set a few pointers, for earlier Linux systems, the distribution
writers expected the installer to use the Rawrite program to create
disks from files from the CD (or DVD) of the distribution if the
system couldn't boot from that media. That program ran on MS-DOS,
inside the Linux host the tool typically was the dd program. That is
to make the images.

But on the Apple, it gets more peculiar, a group of enthusiasts wrote
a collection of programs to package disks on the PC for sending to an
Internet archive called Asimov, and they also wrote a program called
Ciderpress to manage the building of disk images from extracted files.
(Also to other places.)

Has anyone come across a utility that runs on ProDOS to recreate a
disk image onto a proper disk size, that runs on the system itself?
There are a whole collection of utilities on the Asimov site that will
do almost anything, but I figured I'd ask in here first.
