Reading Apple II+ (DOS 3.2) diskettes on an IBM PC



Some discussion on the net in December suggested to me that my PC
might be made to read the files from diskettes formatted for an
Apple II+.  Unfortunately the messages seem to have been purged from
my site.

Can anyone tell me where to get a program for my IBM PC that will
copy files from diskettes formatted for Apple II+ DOS 3.2.1 to
a PC-DOS directory?  I'm looking for an executable or a complete
program source, either free or for a reasonable shareware fee.
I am *not* looking to spend countless hours of my own time
figuring out how to do the job.

The situation:  My brother has a dead Apple II+ in New York City, and 
I brought all the old diskettes--full of programs my father and I
wrote up to ten years ago--up to Ithaca hoping to transcribe them
on my PC (or at least back them up before the data fades away).
There's probably nothing of real value on these diskettes and I have
hard copies of most of the good stuff (my father had the habit of
making listings of everything by hand!) but for old times' sake it
would be nice to have on-line access to this stuff.

(Yes, the other solution would be to fix/replace the Apple; we may
end up doing that as well.)
