Smith Corona WP documents -- How Do I Convert To ASCII ??

I have a Smith Corona PWP word processor that uses single sided 3.5
inch discs and some unusual format.  I have many of these disks filled
with documents and would like to convert them to ASCII files that I
could read on my MS-DOS machine.

Does anyone out there know of a service or some other way that I could
convert the files on these (wierd) disks over to something useful?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please E-mail responses.  Thanks in advance!

Mark.
