There is a utility to do this.  I upgraded my PFS software series to the ProDOS
versions when they came out, and there was a utility provided to convert the
old PFS stuff to the ProDOS format.  I'm not sure of the copyright etc etc
for this utility, but I'd be willing to post it or mail it to you it I knew it
was "ok" to do so.  I think the program was called PFS Convert.
