That bit of info, coupled with Google, turned up the needed info. What you
need is the following Zip file mkimage_vax.zip Unfortuantly it's been
removed from the website. I'll try and find it tonite, hopefully I've still
got a copy.

In the mean time, you might want to check:
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ it has a copy of dd.exe that doesn't appear
to need cgywin installed.
