If we assume it is DOS 3.3 disk images, there's a much better way to
do this:  grab FID.C from my site (http://hotel04.ausys.se/pausch/apple2)
(it's public domain freeware opensource btw :-), compile it with your
favourite ANSI C compiler, then run it and have it produce file listings
for any number of your .DSK images.  Send the output to a text file, and
then browse that file at leisure with your favourite text editor.  Keep
that file for future reference, whenever you need to be reminded what
is on your disk images.
 
In the future I have plans to expand it to handle ProDOS, Pascal and CP/M
disk images as well, preferably with some auto-detection capability.  I'm
not attaching a time-table to this though, so don't ask me next week why
it isn't finished already! :-)  If anyone is really urgent, the source
is there for anyone to enhance -- happy hacking!
