Clarification needed:
Are you wanting to copy from 5.25" DOS 3.2/DOS 3.2.1 to ProDOS, or are you
trying to copy from 5.25" DOS 3.3 to ProDOS?  The question is very important.

The following applies only to FILES.
If, for example, you have some DOS 3.3 stuff that you want to put on a
3.5" disk (maybe you have a IIc+, for instance), then you need the ][gs
Finder, or the newer Apple II System Utilities disk, or the ProDOS User's
Disk, or Copy ][+.  Those programs can all copy from DOS 3.3 to ProDOS, 
ProDOS meaning any size floppy or hard disk.

On the other hand, if you are trying to copy from DOS 3.2 or DOS 3.2.1
disks to DOS 3.3, you have another problem, since DOS 3.2 disks are 
13-sector instead of 16 sector.  To do those disks, you need the MUFFIN
program on the DOS 3.3 System Master.  MUFFIN will copy DOS 3.2 disks onto
DOS 3.3 disks.  Once you have done that, you can use the other solutions
(mine and others) to convert from the DOS 3.3 disks to ProDOS.
