Presumably this is Gilles Vollant (WinImage dude)'s old Extract tool
(freeware, no srcs):

ftp://ftp.winimage.com/extrac21.zip
ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/utildisk/extrac21.zip

(There was also a different smaller version, with srcs, on FASM's
forum [by ATV], a long time ago that I used to "unimg" some stuff, but
it wasn't as robust in some ways.)

You can find WDE (with srcs) here:

http://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/disk/wde/

P.S. If you want to try again on "real" (native) hardware, try using
something like (freeware, no srcs) MKBISO to convert a 1.44 MB 3.5"
floppy .img into a small .ISO for burning to CD (assuming you have no
physical floppy drive anymore):

You could also try (with srcs) FYS' MTOOLs, but I haven't verified
that it will work:
