Several programs can copy _files_ between DOS 3.3 and
ProDOS. (Oddball copyprotected DOS 3.3 variants, this is a *far* more
difficult task.) Copy ][+ (6.0 and later, I think), Apple's own System
Utilities disk, Chameleon, GS/OS System 6.0+, and others can do the
job. If you don't have System 6.0 installed, Chameleon's the best bet.

Q#33 How do I transfer DOS 3.3, Pascal, CP/M files?
Unless you have a null modem (see below) and a comm program for the OS
in question, you'll most likely have to use a real Apple II to
transfer the files to an OS that a lot more systems can read, such as
ProDOS.
The //e system software, the DOS 3.3 FST (GS/OS System 6), and Copy
][+ can all read and convert Dos 3.3 files into ProDOS (but the DOS
3.3 FST can not write to DOS 3.3 disks). This is only helpful for text
files, graphics, and some Basic programs. For translating between
ProDOS, CPM, Pascal and DOS 3.3, try the program Chameleon. You have
to use the 'force disk as ProDOS' option to use your hard drive.
