How to make floppies from .ADF files? (I looked on Aminet!)

I just searched Aminet's compression section and do not see any prog.
that will extract .ADF files out onto floppies, on the Amiga. I saw one
file that was a graphical front-end for 'ADF' but not the app itself.

Can someone point me in the right direction?? Thanks!

Ouch. He must feel really silly, now ;)

Heh. :-)

I find the simplest way is using the Device-Handler (also on Aminet,
also find-able via a search); just "copy foo.adf DEV:DF0".

Stranded in the middle of a field, Duncan Snowden <dun...@snowden.abelgratis.com> lit a fire and sent
out the following smoke signals. It somehow ended up in comp.sys.amiga.misc:

I use xfs (on Aminet) along with the FILE0: mountlist. Press a couple
of keys, select the ADF and use it just like a floppy. Excellent!
