I've seen the syntax readout already.  I said when I don't supply the 
sectors per track, it shows it used 2 instead of 18 like the syntax 
dump says is the default.  In addition, images are very short in size 
which suggests the old Vavasour format.  Not for me.   Anyway, I'll 
try the -e option in a bit... just got home.
