I don't believe there is a pure software method for doing it.  But you
can purchase an add-on board, the Deluxe Option Board, from Central
Point (maker of PC-Tools and CopyII PC).  It allows you to read and
write Mac formatted disks, and has software for file translation.
Latest prices I've seen, discounted, are slightly over $100.  Central
Point info # is 1-800-888-8199.
