You don't need to get the whole file.  Just move the modified Quit code from
your existing version of ProDOS-8 to the new one.  The code is located at
$5900 when Prodos is loaded at $2000, and is 300 bytes long.  (It may be less,
but that's how much space is allocated for it.)

Do this...

     BLOAD PRODOS1.4,TSYS,A$2000
     BSAVE BBB,A$5900,L$300
     BLOAD PRODOS1.7,TSYS,A$2000
     BLOAD BBB,A$5900
     CREATE PRODOS1.7N,TSYS
     BSAVE PRODOS1.7N,A$2000,L$3C7D

Obviously (I hope) the names I used are just to indicate which file is which.
The 1.4 file has the BBB code, the 1.7 file is the unmodified version, and
1.7N is the new version of ProDOS with the BBB code installed.

(If anyone tries this on a =old= version of ProDOS, the code is located at
$5700, not $5900... it changed around v1.2 -> v1.3.
