I have a 5.25" disk with a trashed directory but text data that is
intact on the disk.  I can view the text using a sector editor such
as Block Warden, but I want to get these blocks of data into a file.
 
Is there a utility available that will read arbitrary blocks of data
from a ProDOS disk and put them into a file on another disk?
 
Barring that, is there a disk archiver around that will read an entire
disk and put the data into a file *without* compression?
 
Once I've got the data in a file, I can use various programs to filter
out the non-ascii junk.  It's just getting it into a file that's got
me stumped.
