This is an easy three step process.

1.  Use CHAMELEON (a utility available from most ftp sites) to read the
CP/M disk and write the file to either a Prodos or Dos 3.3 disk.
2.  Put that disk into the Mac and either read it directly (if you have the
Prodos init installed) or use AFE to copy it.
3.  Use a Mac application with a Wordstar translator (such as MS WORD)
to open and use the file.
