Don't know where you can get the ProDOS versions leagally, but they should
come with a utility that will convert the old data files to ProDOS.
It is call PFS:Convert.  There are also utilities that will convert them to
TEXT also.  PFS:Write can save its files as ASCII text if you tell it to.
Simply end the file name in .TEXT (I think this is the ProDOS version only).
