2.1.3.1 Adding a Disk Image

You may add an existing disk image from any location. A single disk image file has the file extension .DIM.

As well, you may manually assembly a disk image from a disk image that has been split into chunks.
These raw chunks can be created by any third-party program (for example, WinHex or Active@ Undelete) and can have any file extension. Common file extensions are .RAW and .IMG.
