Can you point to where to get it and how to use?

Also can somebody explain the .DO/.PO thing to me? I looked at the Beneath DOS and Beneath ProDOS and they claim that both DOS 3.3 and ProDOS do not have any physical interleave but have (different) logical interleave. So the physical sector are consecutive. Fine. Then why 2 different formats? If physical data is written sequentially then the OS can apply whatever physical to logical translation it wants, right?
