If you have access to back issues of Nibble, there was a program
published by them (November '85, I think) called Disk Librarian Pro.
It catalogs both DOS 3.3 and ProDOS disks (root directory only for
ProDOS disks, unfortunately).  If I remember right, it'll create a
listing and dump it into a text file or an AppleWorks 1.x database
file.
