Re: Apple transfer to W95 PC

["Philip Neff" <pneff@pacbell.net>]

Thanks for the information but I have a problem a little similar to this
one.  I have some 51/4 inch floppys with Apple works files created on an
apple IIe a long time ago.  I now have a new IBM pc with windows 98.  I do
not have an Apple IIe machine now.  How do I get these old files to work on
my IBM?  Do you know of a place I can send these 51/4 floopys to have them
made so I can view them on my IBM?  Thank you very much for any information
you can give me.
