There is of course the question as to whether the files contain text or
whether they are binaries.  If they are binaries such as modules that can
only be used on VM then you might as well use VMARC to combine them into
a single archive.
I would suggest using Zoo from listserv at Blekul11.  You should have no
difficulty getting Zoo for the PC of MAC from one of the trickles or the
other locations of public domain software.  With Zoo you could compress all
your files into a single archive and then download the file to the PC.  This
could then be un-zoo'd on the PC or MAC.  Note if the files are text then you
will also have to translate EBCDIC to ASCII (AECONV from Blekul11 is very good)
Having said all this if this is only a once off event I personally would just
use kermit and send * * ( receive at the PC end) and go off and have a cup
of coffee ( lunch or maybe the entire weekend if there are loads of files )
since I'll take any excuse for a cup of coffee.
