If I remember correctly, I reverse engineered it back then, maybe based 
on some sample disk images and generic documentation of the CP/M file 
system or its spiritual successor, the FAT. I may be mistaken, but it 
could be that only a fixed amount of sectors per track is being used.  
See the function CpmTransTable() in image.c. I must admit that I cannot 
follow it now.  Too bad I did not even use a version control system for 
this piece of software back then.
