xfer DB Master (Mac) files to PC



A friend of mine has an old Mac running DB Master (early version, circa
1985) and has been using it for a long time to keep track of his clients.
He has a database of about 300 kb.  He'd like to move the data to his PC
running Win95, and he's asked me whether/how he can do it.  Stoneware, the
manufacturer, seems to be out of business and all I can find from the
groups'archives is that DB Master Pro hasn't sold since 1991.

Can anyone suggest an easy way to transfer the database to, say, MS
Access?  The only possible approach I can think of is to print the
database to a text file, then write it to a PC formatted disk, then have
Access import the text file using the carriage returns as delimiters.  It
would be nice if anyone knows of a simple translator program, or an easier
approach.
