Quality Software, which also made Bag of Tricks (DOS) and Bag of Tricks 2 (ProDOS), made a program called either Universal Disk Conversion or Universal File Convertor which I believe did what you require, without needing a Softcard or compatible. I am not 100 % certain that it did CP/M, but I remember it having that conversion as well as to/from Apple Pascal, DOS 3.3 and ProDOS. I do not know whether Quality Software is still operating, sorry. I haven't seen new products by them in years. If you are able to purchase or borrow the conversion program and the text dosn't come out in the correct text format, you might want to look for a text file conversion program called Chameleon, which I believe is freeware or shareware. I hope this helps you. Disclaimer: These programs may be difficult to obtain since they existed at least three years ago. I no longer use my Apple much except to play Olympic Decathlon.
