Well, for what it does (image backup/restore) whether it's a raw memory image or something that's usable as a virtual disk in an emulator, as long as the backup and restore are consistent with one another and performance of the backup/restore process is not impacted I guess it doesn't matter. If it's more efficient or easier to backup/restore the current image format then maybe a tool to convert a backup into a vdisk might be useful? Or, instead of trying to use it in one of these other CP/M emulators, maybe some way of loading a REXCPM backup image into/out of VirtualT? (I haven't played with this in a while, honestly - I remember Philip made something available to run CP/M in VirtualT maybe a year or two ago which I did play with and got very excited over, but I have no idea what the current state of that is, maybe there is already a way to move REXCPM backup images back and forth to use them for CP/M in VirtualT...?) jim
