It may not be relevant but when I tried to use Disk Copy 6.1.3 to create
a startup floppy disk it kept bailing out with an error when it tried to
verify the floppy.  Shrinkwrap handled it OK so maybe there is a bug in
Disk Copy.  The startup floppy worked perfectly

The reference to a plug-in sounds like a web browser was trying to do
something with the file.  If the file needed processing by something
before Disk Copy 6 could read it, Stuffit Expander should be able to do
it.

Disk Copy 6.2 is needed for the 13 file download of OS 8.1 - or so it said
in the instructions on the Web page when I did the download, and even gave
the link for obtaining it. It worked fine.

Slapped wrist time.  You are quite right but for some reason I thought I
had Disk Copy 6.3, which doesn't even exist!  I will in future try and
control my excitement at the prospect of enhancing my beloved Mac and
read the instructions more carefully :-)
