Does this sound off topic? Well, actually it's not as off topic as you might think. My Linux box (the one I'm on now)had 19 MacBinary files (that form

There use to be a program that allowed exchange between any floppy format the drive could handle called ALIEN, however I haven't seen it for some years (dos3 era) I shall look in my archives but the floppys I suspect may be dead by now.

This as I've said is where Linux comes in. I would like to (somehow) take these self mounting images (SMI) and create diskettes with them. Is this possible?

Thanks, Tim
