The program DOS 3.3 Launcher will allow you to put DOS 3.3 programs on a
ProDOS volume by making it's own kind of images. There was another
thread about this last week. It may be an option you are looking for if
you're trying to put the programs on a hard drive. If this is
unacceptable, take the advice from the other posters.
