  Crossworks might work.  Another possibility is to use AFE on a Mac
to convert it to a Microsoft Works file, which then could probably be
imported into Microsoft Excel on a Mac, and I suspect it would then
be possible to transfer it to an IBM since I would think that Microsoft
either has a utility for reading Mac Excel files on an IBM or else
Works can probably export it as a SLYK file.
