The image file fits on a HD floppy with a copy of the Shrinkwrap program, then I read the HD floppy with Winimage to archive it and to move it over to BasiliskII as the HD image. No way to directly read the 800K image except on a Mac. Then you mount the HD image, and mount the 800K image on it using Shrinkwrap. There is no barrier whatsoever to getting the data and programs somewhere. And no problem with 400K disks as long as you have a drive on a real Mac that will read them and also write at least 800K disks. There's also no barrier to archiving them onto big backup volumes as long as you have Shrinkwrap.
