I never used his program, since it was only available as Windows only.
I needed to wait for either a Linux version, or source code so I could try
to make a Linux Version. I've been bitten several times by the "I
promise to release the source" by binary authors promises in the past,
so I have learned to wait until the promised release actually occurs (which
is very rare for binary authors).
Now I'm glad I didn't try to use the Windows version. If I did the images
I made would now be worthless because they are in yet another
abandoned undocumented format, and I would have wasted my time
creating them.
There enough undocumented archive formats out there already,
including 22disk, teledisk, etc., so the loss of yet another undocumented
one isn't that upsetting to me. Good thing it came sooner than later, so
that not too much data was locked up in it.
