You can use ASIMOV2 to convert .2MG files back to diskette form as well as
for creating .2MG files from 800k diskettes. The utility Imgutnew.exe can be
used to convert most available Diskcopy images to 2MG format on PC.
*See ... Size Note: Transferring to 3.5" disk (at bottom of this page)

008- I have downloaded a bunch of files for the Apple II
lately that are in a format called GZ. I understand it
is some variation of Zip but I don't have a translator or
it on my GS. Does anyone know where I can find one?
5.25" disk image files downloaded from Asimov, mod files, and some others
are, often, in GZ g-zipped format and usually have the .gz file name extension
(like narfgame.dsk.gz). If you download the files to a PC, you can use WinZIP to
unzip the file.
Note: Due to the use of an extra period, names of g-zip compressed files-- names
such as "narfgame.dsk.gz"-- do not always survive downloading to PC's. Some
setups may remove the ".gz" from the name when saving the file. In order to be
correctly recognized by WinZIP, the file's name should be repaired so that it
ends with ".gz".
Usually, once unzipped, an Asimov GZ image file will end up as a 143,360
byte DSK file with a name ending with ".dsk". The file may be used as a virtual
diskette on an emulator like AppleWin; or, it may be transferred to a real Apple
II via NULL modem and converted to Apple-readable diskette form using DSK2FILE
or (GS-only) ASIMOV. (Or, it may be NULL modem transferred directly to 5.25"
diskette via a version of ADT.)
