Description
"Double-Duty DOS" by Jason Coleman, in Compute! Magazine, Issue 89 (October 1987) introduces three commands
DCAT- catalog a DOS 3.3 diskDLOAD- load an Applesoft BASIC or Binary file from a DOS 3.3 diskDSAVE- save an Applesoft BASIC or Binary file to a DOS 3.3 disk
WIP disassembly at: https://github.com/a2stuff/dddos
Parts like the RWTS code can be dramatically simplified, install/relocation code isn't needed, etc.

Start by reading the requested DCAT, DLOAD, and DSAVE behavior in this issue, then review the linked a2stuff/dddos WIP disassembly and the prodos-path repository. Compare the existing PATH command with the DOS 3.3 disk operations described there. Done means the three commands support the listed catalog, load, and save workflows.
