other useful tools that work well are "rawrite" or rawcopy.
though if you must use dos to read floppies, I always prefer teledisk, however it uses a
proprietary format
teledisk compresses so it makes the images smaller, and it also has handlers for errors,
etc.
if you use linux/bsd, you can simply put the disk in the drive and use dd
like: dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/home/myhome/outputfile.iso
(modify the path as needed)
utilities like rawrite/rawcopy can read the images created by dd so that makes it pretty
handy.
it creates a raw binary dump of the disk in generic format.

I want to get the information out of
5.1/4"-hp64000-floppys. I'd like
to store the files at a windows95 or windowsXP-computer(or maybe dos).
I have used Dave Dunfield's ImageDisk program:
http://www.classiccmp.org/dunfield/img/
...to archive HP 64000 diskettes to a PC. The accompanying IMDU program
will generate a binary dump of the diskette image, which can be used with a
(hex) file browser to view the diskette contents.
Connecting the actual 360K floppy from a 64000 system produced more
reliable results than using the 1.2M floppy that was present in the PC.
