Here is your problem!  The example _should_ read:

    DISKCOPY TEST.IMG A:

You cannot load that file into Paint, PaintShop, InternetExplorer, or any
other program.  Presuming that A: is your bootable diskette drive, using
DiskCopy will take the contents of the TEST.IMG file and copy it sector by
sector to the A: drive diskette.

Yes, it is an image file, but not for the purpose that you are presuming it
to be...  This type of image file is for creating disk files to be
recognizable by a specific operating system -- DR-DOS v7.02!

Have you installed the DR-DOS operating system on your computer?

           Cheers ... Gerald
