I think that those "image" files are disk images used by Apple's DiskCopy
program.  Basically, if you can get these images down to a Mac (hard drive?)
and un-binhex them (as necessary), then the resulting "image" files can
be read by DiskCopy to save on a 800K floppy.  I think DiskCopy is also
there on apple.com, but if it's not, check on sumex-aim.stanford.edu.

Thanks for all the replies to my question about what the "image" files are in
apple.com.  That'll teach me to read the "readme" files in the future.  :-)
Now the problem is downloading the stuff via 2400 baud modem.  Snail-city.
Snore.
