Is there a utility that can be launched from within any booted DOS
3.3, that can write to a ProDOS disk?
Or.. any DOS 3.3 utility that can patch a DOS 3.3 in memory to write
to a 3.5" disk based DOS 3.3 volume, and can those be read by
something to get the files to ProDOS?

I have some large text files on a split DOS 3.3 volume, in effect, the
same as the Sider 'Super Volume', but these are only double sized, not
the full 400K.
The file is the size of two floppies, the DOS 3.3, they are random
access text files.
I'm not totally sure of the structure of the files, though I could
write a cheesy BASIC program that for-next loops and closes the file
at a predetermined amount of records, and then opens it again at that
point, and prompts for a new disk.
