What you might want to try is to list the Applesoft programs out to a file
on the Apple II, so that it is saved as ASCII -- then transfer the file over
to the Mac as the ASCII source code.  If you're not sure how to do this on the
Apple II, send me e-mail (and let me know what your dad is using, i.e. II+,IIe,
IIc,IIgs,etc, DOS 3.3, ProDOS,etc.).

Good luck.
