The UNIX deco utility provides a convenient interface for unpacking files from various archive formats.
When working with disk images, it can be useful to treat the disk image as an archive, and simply unpack its files into the local directory structure. The files available here provide extensions to deco to allow it to unpack a disk image as though it were an archive.
