Why use another emulator.  ;-)

The Trackstar should have an Apple -> PC transfer option for transferring
files across.  What you want to do is .shk archive the files using ShrinkIt!
on the Trackstar, then move them to an MS-DOS volume.  There should
be utilities on the other emulators that will let you copy a file into a disk
image.  You need to put the .shk archive from your MS-DOS volume
(hard disk, floppy, etc.) into a disk or hard disk image.  Then run ShrinkIt!
from within the software emulator and extract the archive.
