I suggest that you try the Chameleon program (it is files 87-00030
and 87-00031 on the APPLE2-L list server at the BITNET node BROWNVM).
I have never tried it with DATA files, but I have used it for TEXT
files.  Moreover, the price is sure right.

When I had a bunch of Apple Pascal (UCSD) DATA files to transfer over
to DOS 3.3 (or ProDOS), I wrote a Pascal program to read the files
and write them out as TEXT files.  I then used the System Utilities
program on one of the old system disks to convert the TEXT file to
the DOS of my choice.
