That bit of info, coupled with Google, turned up the needed info. What you
need is the following Zip file mkimage_vax.zip Unfortuantly it's been
removed from the website. I'll try and find it tonite, hopefully I've still
got a copy.
In the mean time, you might want to check:
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ it has a copy of dd.exe that doesn't appear
to need cgywin installed.

All I
wanted was a way with nothing but Windows to read a VMS
distro disc. I am now firmly convinced that no such thing is
possible without buying *some* piece of software.
Did you check http://www.softresint.com/charon-vax/Tools_and_tips.htm
like I'd suggested?

Didn't we do this thread last year? :)
The dd.exe released by Sun works at the file level, not on raw
devices. You can read from a file to a floppy, but that seems to be as
close as it gets.
When Jerome Fine was working out how to dupe the RT-11 freeware CDs to
Ersatz-11 disk files (I think that was the project) we went round and
round with this. dd.exe was my suggestion, so you can believe I tried
really hard to get it to work. It won't do it. The OS doesn't seem to
provide access to the raw device.
