It helps to run it in debug level 2, -d2 on the command line where.  It
gives nice feedback so you know things are working right.

Use the RTDSK utility (included in the RT11ARC.EXE self-extracting ZIP) to
create blank RT11 images.  It's rather simple to use.

rtdsk disk_image_file [-i[<dev>]] [-s] [-f#] [-v{bdm}] [-{abdrx}filename]

So to create an RX02 image:

rtdsk img-name.dsk -iDY:

This will create an image file that is equivalent in the number of blocks
to an RX02 formatted floppy.  You can also use DD:, DX:, DL: or DZ: for
respective image sizes.  More information is available in the readme:

And then of course, also download PUTR.COM from  bit.com to manipulate the
files inside the image:
