Rumor has it that trash3(a)splab.cas.neu.edu may have mentioned these words:

But it sure would be nice to take a file made by a true
floppy image copy
program (like floppy copy) and browse it, not just restore it to another
floppy.
If you're running your "DOS" under DOSEMU in Linux, you can always just dd
the floppy to a file & then you can 'loopback mount' that image into a
directory.[1] AFAIK, DOSEMU can specify directories as drives (but don't
quote me on that - I've only used it once, and that was *very* briefly.) [2]

[1] To loopback mount a file into the filesystem, you need to either have
that kernel function a) compiled into the kernel, or b) compiled into a
module, and load that module using the module-functions (lsmod/insmod/rmmod).
