	OK, we have one of two situations to deal with. Either you are dealing
with some software using the "Apple Pascal" file system (in which case
you should be able to copy the disks with an older version of Copy][Plus
- the newer ones don't handle the "Apple Pascal" file system). Or you are
dealing with a ProDOS file system with a different version of Pascal (you
should be able to use any ProDOS based disk copy program).

	In terms of getting stuff of the hard drives, I'm only guessing. It's
more likely you have a ProDOS file system. In this case a file copy
program should do. There is a remote possibility you have the other file
system on the hard drive. In this case I have no idea how to help.
