I been asked by a person in Bogata, Columbia who to move PFS data to dbase
on a PC. They have about 10 years worth of stuff and they are planning to rekey
the information but it seems like a waste of time.

The problem:

I have never used an Apple 2 so I have no idea how the disk format works.

I have no idea how PFS file stores their information.

Possible solution:

If we can get it into ascii format we may be able to send it out the printer
port and thru a null cable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
