Dave, from my quick read of your description of the IMD format, there is meta 
information that I think would be valuable to store.  When a disk is imaged, the 
captured file should indicate which tracks/sectors had problems being read. 
That would allow automated merging of two different attempts to capture a given 
disk (I haven't used your merge program, but my understanding was that one had 
to manually specify which tracks to take from each image.  Futher, when 
archiving one often is processing a large batch of disks.  Keeping track of the 
problematic sectors manually and making sure that information is associated with 
the disk is challenging.  Some months later when going back to a pile of disk 
images, it would be nice to know which sectors are suspect.
