The last time I looked they were available at:
MUG!
ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/2/apple2/apple16/System/Ndas/mug101.bxy
MSDOS Utilities
ftp://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/2/apple2/apple16/Utils/MSDOS.util/MSDOS.TOOLS.SHK
If you can't find them, you can ask me to send them to you.
Note that there is a later version of MUG! available only to registered
users, with better support for big disks (eg. Zip disks) and automatic
text/binary file detection.
