They are created by some disk copying utility and they are just disk
images. Depending on the program, they may be written back to a floppy
or individual files may be extracted. I know no program for Atari that
can extract individual files and the PC ones can do this only from disk
images that comply to the PC standard. Otherwise use either E-copy or
Fastcopy, most probably the images were created with one of them and
they should be able to recognise their own format.
