Large ASCII text files with records appear to be getting truncated on extraction from DOS 3.X #11

Description

@Lioncourt19

Large ASCII text files that are broken into records (a common practice in Applesoft Basic programs) appear to be truncated above a certain size when extracted from DOS 3.X disk images. Similar files on ProDOS extract fine.

Example: See attached disk image and extract the file Eamon.desc (194 blocks).

The file should contain over 300 records of size 256, but when examined only contains about half the data. If I've done the math correctly, the extracted file should be at least 85K, but it's only 49K.
