VIEWDISK?  The great thing about ][ emulators is that they make 1
computer look like 2--at the same time!  Try a null-modem xfer with
yourself.  Just run a cable from COM1* to COM2*, and use a PC modem
program and an Apple ][ modem program (in the emulator).  Another
solution is to open AppleWorks, EdIt!, AppleWriter, etc., and use
ApplePC's "Dump Text File To Keyboard" option.  Save the file as text
in AW, EI, AW, etc., and voila!

*The allowed combinations:
COM1-COM2 or
COM1-COM4 or
COM2-COM3 or
COM3-COM4

I've heard the other combinations are allowed if you can set your COM
ports to "poll" (Don't ask me, I only recalled that from the deeper
recesses of my unreliable, undesirable, unsensitive, uncalled-for
mind)
