Yes, there is such a commercial package that does exactly what you
need to do. This software is called "BIG BLUE READER" and is available
for the C128 and the C64. With this program you will be able to read
and write to MS-DOS files.                                      
However, you need to have a 1571 or a 1581 disk drive.
 
The C64  version cost around $20.
The C128 version cost around $35 (and it has more feature)        
 
This software package is available from local software stores or mail   
order companies (like Tenext, Software Support Intenational, Briwall, etc).
 
I hope this helps..
 
Sincerely,
