And probably stored on DOS 3.3 disks.

The version  of Bank Street Writer I worked with saved the files as 
binary.  You can write a simple BASIC program to bload the file.  Then 
peek all the locations in memory occupied by this file.  Print the asc 
equivalent to a text file... or at leas that I hos I converted them.

Almost all DOS/Windows word processors can read text files.  YOu wilp 
need to convert the files to an IBM disk.  If you know someone with a GS 
and a high denisy disk drive & controler, who owns the MSdos utilies, it 
is easy to do. You will probably have to send the files to a BBS, then 
download them on the IBM.

: I am trying to figure out how to go about moving the documents for her.
: I have a Mac IIsi at home which I can use to assist in the conversion.


: Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you have an Apple ][ available?  I might (no promisses) have the 
program on one of my old disks.
