OK, I went back and tried it again and this time I managed to copy
some of the Applesoft files to a 143 kb DOS 3.3 disk image.
If you send me your email address I will email the image to you.  You
can try it out and if it works then I will copy the rest to 143 kb
images.
My address is charlied@bboard.com
One possible problem is that there are also binary files (and one text
file) on the disk image that are not obviously associated with any
particular applesoft file.
Another problem is my memory. Right now I don't remember how to copy a
binary file from one disk to another without a copy program, so I'll
have to figure that out. For Applesoft files it is simple just "LOAD
filename S5" "SAVE filename S6".
