Easy!  Install the LaserWriter driver to System 6.0.1 and make the
LaserWriter the direct printer.  Then just print to disk.

The LaserWriter driver will save a Postscript file containing the AWGS
page layout output.  You should be able to import it into your Wintel
word processing program as a Postscript file.  Or, you can load it
into an OCR program to turn it back into text.  You'll want to stick
with Postscript if you want it to look the same as if printed on the GS.
