Well, that would require Script Editor, which is not normally installed on
the system (it's in the Applescript Extras folder on the MacOS CD).
Applescript itself is a system extension with no UI of its own.
Of course, the text file could be distributed alongside the executable,
droppable script.
We could also remove the Disk Copy portion, just leave that in the
installation instructions, and make the droppable script just a utility for
making the floppy images Mac-aware (replacement for potentially dangerous
ResEdit).
