No - I'm not referring to Chameleon, which simply copies files between
Pascal, DOS 3.3, ProDOS and CP/M, without doing anything to the contents
(other than text file structure translation, I hope).

The program I'm thinking of is specific to PFS:File Pascal data files,
and converts them into a form which can be read by any ProDOS-based
database, including AppleWorks, or copied from ProDOS to another
computer and read by anything else.
