The "old" PFS File appears to be a P-system disk; it acts like a PASCAL
booting program on bootup. There is an interesting attempt at copy protection
involving synch. bytes on bootup, but nothing else extraordinary. To convert
to MS-DOS would probably take using the PFS "Convert" disk to convert the file
to ProDOS, then using the "new" ProDOS version of PFS File to write the file
as a delimited ASCII file to a data disk; the file could then be transmitted
to a PC via modem, or put onto a 3.5" disk, read into a Mac using the convert
utility of Works, and converted to a 3.5" MS-DOS disk via "normal" methods.
