APRIDISK is a disk imaging utility and format for the type of floppy disks used by ACT Apricot (a.k.a. Apricot PC) computers. It was developed by Jonathan Marsters.
APRIDISK runs on DOS. The extent to which it runs on Apricot computers is unclear. The relevant ACT Apricot and MS-DOS floppy disk formats are similar, but not fully compatible. APRIDISK apparently also supports some MS-DOS floppy disk formats.
