Version v5.5 is in DOS 3.3 format, and doesn't support ProDOS.
v8.2 is a ProDOS app.
You can make a "hybrid" disk- half ProDOS, half DOS 3.3. It will bootinto ProDOS. If you boot a DOS 3.3 disk, you can access the other half.
Beagle Bros' GPLE was distributed this way.

Extra K comes with a tool HYBRID.CREATE to create such a disk, and theProDOS side has a file DOS.SYSTEM to boot DOS from ProDOS.
