This zipfile contains tools needed to create a Mac-bootable floppy disk that
contains the MacOS 8.5 disk repair tools, on a Windows 95/98/NT system.

In addition to this ReadMe, the zipfile contains DISKIMG.EXE and dtools85.img.

The DISKIMG program will create a Macintosh disk on a PC-formatted floppy; it
must be run from a DOS window under Windows 95, 88, or NT.


On the PC side:
---------------

1.	Open a DOS window and CD to the directory containing the dtools85.img and
	DISKIMG.EXE files.

2.	Put a PC-formatted floppy in drive A.  The floppy must have no bad 
	sectors.  Any data on the disk will be wiped out by running DISKIMG.

3.	Enter at the DOS command prompt: DISKIMG W 1440 dtools85.img

4.	Tons of status messages will scroll by as the disk is written to.
	Upon completion, the floppy will be a Mac-formatted disk, and you won't
	be able to browse it from DOS or Windows.  Eject it.


That's it!  You now have a floppy disk that is bootable; insert the disk in
your Mac's floppy drive and power-on to boot from the floppy.

This disk and the repair and formatting tools on it should work for any 8.x
version of MacOS.
