A friend of mine has a large (18,000 records) database in dBase IV
on the AppleIIe which he needs to convert to dBase (any version) on
the PC.  This database is obviously too large to retype, and would
be a major headache to even re-format by hand.

Is there a conversion program that will let us use this database
in dBase on the PC?

Failing that, what would be the best way to transfer the file(s)
from Apple II to PC?  I know we could transfer via modem, but are
there more direct and speedier methods?  Any packages that would
let us read/write Apple II disks on IBM or vice versa?
Maybe connect an Apple II drive to PC or PC drive to Apple II?

Thank you for any replies;  feel free to post here or e-mail
as you choose.  :-)
