Or even more conveniently, I'm in Melbourne!

And getting Apple II files onto PCs is something of a specialty of mine! 
:-)

You could probably just call past at the weekend and we could do it on the 
spot.

You can try decoding the email address in my news post (pretty obvious), or 
even better decode this one which I check more often:

p a s n b g o d n t a
 w t o @ i p n . e . u

Just overlay the two lines to create my email address (starting with 'p' 
then 'w', and ending in '.au').
(Sorry for the paranoia, but I found out the hard way what happens when you 
post email addresses in news groups!)

It's probably worth asking a few important questions.
1) What type of Apple II disks? (And ProDOS or DOS 3.3?)
2) What type of PC disks?
3) What type of files? Do you need any conversion done on them?
