+An AppleScript, <application>Make Debian Floppy</application>, is
+available for burning floppies from the provided disk image files. It
+can be downloaded from
+<ulink url="ftp://ftp2.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/debian-imac/MakeDebianFloppy.sit"></ulink>. To
+use it, just unstuff it on your desktop, and then drag any floppy
+image file to it. You must have Applescript installed and enabled in
+your extensions manager. Disk Copy will ask you to confirm that you
+wish to erase the floppy and proceed to write the file image to it.
