Can somebody please help.

My father has been using a BBC model B as a word processor for a number
of years now. He has many years of work (he's an author as well as a
lecturer) stored on disk in BBC format. He has recently bought a Macintosh
and wants to transfer his documents from the BBC format to the Mac.

Does anybody know how this can be done? Is there a program for it?
Can they be translated to plain ASCII? It would be a real help to him if
someone can tell us.

If anyone else wants to know (and if I get some replies), email me.

Thanks in advance, Alan.
