The first step is to be able to read the Apple disks on the PC.  Try
Uniform from MicroSolutions; it will allow you to read, write, and format
Apple II disks, as well as a bunch of CP/M 5.25" formats.  MicroSolutions
also sells a co-processor board that will allow you to execute Apple II
software on the PC.  Without this capability, or a program which can
convert file formats (as opposed to disk formats), you will have a problem.
Of course, straight ASCII text files are no problem.  Also, any files 
created by a program on the Apple which has a file-format compatible
counterpart in the PC world can be managed without a coprocessor, provided
you obtain the PC version of the program(s).
