No one's mentioned the problem that you'll also need to convert
the *data* once you've moved the *files*. Which word processor
created the files, and which contemporary word processor do you
hope to use them in? You may need to revive the original machine
or something similar in order to re-save the documents in ASCII.
Conversion programs might be available, but that might cost $$$.
Of course, you'll need to run 22Disk on a PC equipped with both
5 1/4 and 3 1/2 floppies, then move the files to a 3 1/2 PC disk, and
the Mac can read them as-is.
