Understood - ARJ worked great for me, and I'm kinda thinking this whole 'how to handle Gotek files' theme might make for a good OSS program. I've been wanted to write something, and got motivated by the simplicity of a recent OSS named Ripdrag - rust implements really easily and the above topic might be an easy-ish subject to tackle;

creation of empty .img files in 360k, 720k, 1.20m, 1.44m size
addition of files to an empty .img to create a Gotek-compatible .img
splitting of large files/archives and them into .img's for a Gotek

.... at any rate, thanks for the reply as always xqtr!
