In my humble opinion, the best thing to do is download the INDEX file.
You'll find the most recent one in /pub/apple_II/incoming, as the
file 'INDEX.OF.DOS3.3.DISKS.4-APR-1996.txt'.  It should be downloaded
as a 'text' file if at all possible (but the brain-dead ftp on 
ftp.asimov.net may insist that you move in binary.  The resulting
file has Unix-type newlines in it, which most but not all editors
and viewers on PC's and Mac's can read).

This INDEX is particularly useful as it also includes DOS 3.3 directories
of all DOS 3.3 disks on the site at the time the INDEX was made.  Thus
disk images with a half-dozen moderate sized games will be fully listed.
