If PFS File has an export command, you may want to try to export the data
into a format which is compatible with your database program on the MAC.
Try experimenting with different formats. Also, you may try printing the
database to a file with tabs seperating the fields and returns seperating
the records. Almost every datbase program can read and write data in this
format. To physically transfer the data, if you have a terminal program
for both computers, you could try to use X-Modem to transfer the data.
