  6. Well, for Linux (or any other system with GNU tail) you could skip the
  7. first 84 bytes with:
  8.  
  9. tail --bytes=+85 my_disk_image > mydisk.hfv
  10.  
  11. (yes, it's "+85" to skip 84 bytes).  I'm sure there a zillion other
  12. clever Unix ways to do it too...that's just the first one that came to
  13. mind.
