FileUtils — QLToWin / WinToQL

Floppy IMG derived from archived files. Mount as FLP1 and boot using Minerva 1.98a1 ROM, 640 KiB emulator RAM and Toolkit II 2.32. Converted a QDOS executable to Q-emuLator Windows format and back. The 924-byte payload, executable type 1 and 512-byte dataspace were restored exactly. MdvToWin was not tested. Basic functional check in sQLux, not full validation or a physical-hardware test. Audio untested. ROMs are not included.
