'diskcopystrip' tool for stripping Disk Copy data from floppy images

diskcopystrip is a simple tool I wrote that strips all Disk Copy data (header and tags) from Macintosh floppy disk images.
I know this is not a tool for 68k macs, and as such is maybe not suitable for this sub-forum, but I'll give it a go. I thought it could help others since it was a huge time saver for myself, at least.

Here's a Windows build with the source code included: https://16-bits.org/etc/diskcopystrip.zip
On Windows, you can just drag-n-drop images onto the executable, and it will create a backup and then modify the original file.

It should compile quite easily on Linux and other POSIX-compliant OSes. Just compile main.c, no libraries needed. Let me know if it fails to do so.
Also false virus positives be damned, 4 of them on VirusTotal. You can always analyze the (short) code and compile it yourself if you don't trust it. 😏
