Converting .TD0 to .IMD / new utility

I've been converting some of the .TD0 image files that various people have sent to me into .IMD format using the tried and true "write it to a disk with Teledisk, and read it back in with Imagedisk" technique. This works, but gets tedious as you need to keep starting/exiting Teledisk and ImageDisk, remember which file you are working on over the time it takes to read/write the disk, and worst of all, write down the comment record from the Teledisk screen and manually enter it into ImageDisk when creating the disk. Got tiring rather quickly... So I wrote a new utility which might be handy to anyone else wishing to convert images: TD2IMD automates much of the process of converting Teledisk .TD0 images into Imagedisk .IMD format. It builds a list of all .TD0 files specified (you can use '*' so "TD2IMD *" does all .TD0 files in the current directory), then launches Teledisk and Imagedisk in turn allowng you to write/read the disk. With a single keystroke TD2IMD will enter the filename into Teledisk, then capture the comment record displayed on the screen and place it in an empty .IMD file of the same name. After you finish with Teledisk, it automatically launches Imagedisk, and also with a single-keystroke enters the filename. Imagedisk reads the comment from the empty .IMD file, lets you edit it if you wish, then reads the disk into the file. Goes MUCH faster! TD2IMD is available on my site, go to the software page, then pick "Teledisk", and look for TD2IMD on the subpage.
