Disk Imaging Program (DIP) V1.0 by Shamus Husheer.

This is a piece of software somewhat similar to DMS or PackDev.  It reads a
floppy disk (or a device that looks like a disk) to a file.  That file can
then be packed with whatever archiver you want, and stored or transmitted.
Later the file is written back to the disk (or device) as though a direct
track based copy had been done.  This preserves all disk structure.

Features:
 - DIP IS PUBLIC DOMAIN
 - DIP Includes Sources (in assembler)
 - DIP Reads ALL tracks of a disk, ensuring a true copy (unlike DMS)
 - DIP files can be directly used as FMS floppy unit files
 - DIP is 1908 bytes (uncompressed)!!!!!

If you're looking at this for source examples, also get BFC.lha
(same author) as the source is similar but more complex.
