It's a command line tool to manipulate floppy disk images. It is a
Mame project. Usually distributed with Mame.
Very similar features set to decb and os9. But includes support for
many more kinds of filesystems.
Mame also has floptool. Which is a newer tool, that does the same
thing. I've never used it.
I wrote DragonDOS support for imgtool.
I don't know of any downloads for MacOS. I just build it myself if I need it.
