What is the question? Do you want to read the files off a disk, or do
you want to know how to convert Apple text format to PC text?

If the first, you should tell us on what kind of disk the work was saved
exactly. If this is a 5.25" floppy, you're out of luck, since only Apple
IIs can read Apple II floppies. So you'll need an Apple (a //c or a IIgs
will do as well) to read the files and put them on a medium that other
computers can read (3.5" disk, network file server, BBS, Binaries
newsgroup etc.)

If the latter, you should tell us with what program the files were made.
If the files are plain text, most wordprocessors can read those in - the
Apple ][ text format is identical to Mac text format -  but if not, we
should know which format they are in.
