This is not 100% correct; MESS does have the Imgtool program which allows 
one to transfer RS-DOS programs back and forth from disk images.  It is a 
command line program, so some might find it harder to use than RETRIEVE.EXE, 
but it also supports VDK and DMK disk images. 

As for an equivalent of DSKINI.EXE, there is not much chance at all of 
avoiding MS-DOS given how Windows does not like 5 1/4" drives.
