[Coco] Dutch disk archive found

[Bob Devries]

I just noticed that some of the .dsk files in my dropbox are not the 
full 360k or 720k. I'm guessing that this is done by Drivewire4?

To make them full size, I need to load those files into DW, and then use 
dEd to write to the last secto, or else, specify a full physical format 
when I create the disks.

As it stands, VCC accepts the images, but WImgTool does not. Copying 
them to *real* disks should present no problem, though.
