That takes a saveset (MULTIA_V72.BCK) and expands it
onto a floppy (DVA0:). It's an image backup and the
result at the end will be an ODS-2 formatted floppy
with files placed in the appropriate places (i.e. if
the original floppy that was backed up was bootable,
the result should be too).

It's special (internal redundancy records and so on might be
in there - it was originally developed to save data on flakey
tapes).

Can you zip it up so it's easier to download?
