Help! 

We gave my brother a Macintosh for Xmas, and I promised him (without 
understanding the details of how) that I would get his text files converted
from his Atari 800XL onto the Mac.  WELL... I discover this is not as easy as
one might believe ..

I have here two boxes of disks, his files, in ASCII format (some format that
Atari lets you put files into ...).  I have not yet bitten off the job of
building a serial line interface from the atari onto some other system.

Here it is.  If you can help me, lets work out a deal.  I can deal with this
text on IBM-PC, Mac (final destination) or Unix tar tape.  If you can get it
from Atari 5 1/4 disk into one of these other forms, I will pay some bucks, and
be most grateful, all at the same time.  

Please drop a note or call.
