The FAQ for the apple emulators group says that the reader should feel 
free to write a conversion program to convert from Applemu(NDO) to Apple2em
(DO) formats. Well, I was bored, I wanted to learn more about the Apple's
disk storage techniques, and I wanted a copy of the system master disk
included with applemu. So I wrote this.  

It isn't pretty. The code isn't well commented. I didn't even use a single
procedure. But it seems to work. Of course, nobody needs to transfer
disk files in this direction, but all the other programs had already been
written. 
        To use:run the program, and give it the input and file names\paths.
If it can't find the input file it lets you know; If there is a problem
with the output file it will do the same. It has worked
correctly on the system master and a choplifter disk (first converted with
em2emu).

	The program does not check the integrity of the data it is converting.
It used to, but the master disk had reserved bytes in illegal places, and
yet the data was still valid. So now all it does is seeks to the next
address header and the subsequent data header. You could run it on a text
file if you wanted, and it would give you a disk. I figure that if the data
is invalid I can't help that anyway.

This program is hereby released into the public domain. Feel free to do
anything you want to it.
