This is the second time I'm answering my own question...I'm on
a roll.  Actually, I can only answer part of it.  In August's
Mac World in the Mac Bulletin section there's an announcement
of an update to DiskDoubler by Salient.  This looks like it
might be something like DCSquish.  Does anybody out there use
it with their Spectre format disks?  or is Dave Small out
there?  Do you know if this would work?
Thanks again.
