   Not easily. Best chance of doing so is if these are BASIC programs
that follow enough of the rules and restrictions that it'l run under
ProDOS without work (or a little). DOS 3.3 is a completely different
OS from Prodos 8 or GS/OS, and was never designed or updated to run
"under" another. DOS 3.3 always thinks it's just booted the system
cold, and has no real concept of 'exiting' or peaceful coexistance.
