Drerk,

The link you gave to the CoCoDisk utility at coco3.com is for an old
version. The latest version can be found in the new files repository
that Chad H has kindly provided:

  <http://excalibur1.net/coco/CoCoDisk_v05.zip>

If you have a disk image that gives CoCoDisk problems, send it to me
and I will work on an update to fix it.
