It's easy to get the files on an Apple disk- The program Chameleon will do it
under ProDOS.  However, there are only two ways to get to a pc disk- serial
transfer or special hardware.  The special hardware would be an apple drive
that can write pc format (such as a superdrive or blue disk drive) or Mac that 
can read Apple and write pc.  There is no just software solution- the formats
are hardware different.
