HELP!! RE: Unarchiving Mac's Doublespace files to a PC?



I have gotten several floppy disks containing a database originally 
produced on a Mac. Since the files were so big that they couldn't fit 
on a single 1.44 MB floppy they were compressed with Mac's archiving 
utility - Doublespace. Doublespace allows you then to spread the 
information over several disks.

The problem now is that I want to convert the whole thing to run on a PC.
It is no problem with uncompressed Mac files but I have no idea how to
uncompress Doublespace compressed files on a PC.

Does anybody know how to do this. Is there an unarchiving utility that 
will run on a PC that can unarchive Doublespace files?

Is there any other way of doing this? As a last resort I will try to get 
hold of a Mac , unarchive the files and transfer them over the serial 
port to the PC. It is not something I look forward to, though as I 
cannot easily get hold of a Mac.

I really would appreciate if someopne could help me with this.
