A throwaway BASIC program ought to do the job to dump a list of files on one
disk to a file on another disk:

10 PRINT CHR$(4);"OPEN LIST,S6,D1":PRINT CHR$(4);"WRITE LIST":
   PRINT CHR$(4);"CATALOG,S6,D2":PRINT CHR$(4);"CLOSE LIST"

Change the slot/drive numbers as appropriate.  It's also worth noting that
this will only get the root directory of the disk; BASIC.SYSTEM has nothing
like ls -lR.
