[Coco] using WIMGTOOL to add files to a .DSK image

[Lee]

I've found Toolshed (https://sourceforge.net/p/toolshed/wiki/Documentation/)
to be very useful in reading/writing/creating DECB and OS9 formatted floppy
images (it can already create cassette WAVs). I use it in my PC development
environment where I compile with lasm, then use decb.exe (or os9.exe) to
copy resulting BINs to a disk image which is already mounted on the CoCo
via DriveWire.
