Not all disks have catalogs.  They may have hardcoded tracks and sectors
coded into the program and are accessed directly through a RWTS routine.

The easiest way to pull files off a disk that does have an accessible
directory in a standard location would be inside the emulator itself
using FID, Copy ][ Plus, or the Finder.  (Or using the real hardware.)
