I believe the following might work.  It depends on a number of factors.  My
questions would be:
	Does D&S use binary or ASCII files?
	Does D&S use DOS3.3, PROdos, or special formatting?
	Do you have a 3.5" drive on the Apple II?
	Do you have access to a MAC?

The procedure would be:
	Put the files in ASCII format on a 3.5" PROdos formatted disk.
	The MAC should be able to read PROdos disks into its OS format.
	The MAC OS has a utility for writting MSDOS disks.

You might try your local Apple dealer to use their equipment for the short time
it would take to perform this conversion.
