I just uploaded some DOS utilities for dealing with *.D64 disk images.
One program will give you directories of many D64 disk images with
one command. The other will extract an entire D64 image to a DOS
disk with one command. Written in ML1 with sourcecode included.

The floppies are double-density ones I'm afraid. So no holes to cover.

I did make me think though, as the external drive I have is a Power
Computing one that supports HD as well as DD. But fiddling with the mode
switch at the back doesn't seem to help.

I cleaned the heads yesterday and managed to get one side of the disk to
give all greens on xcopy's checkdisk function - but the others were
completely red. And still not formatting - with the "Cylinder 0" error.
