I'm trying to pull some old word processor and

READDISK that reads TRS-80 disks on a PC and it worked great. Now I need
to extract the files from the image.
Wouldn't it be easier to install a trs-80 emulator, mount the readdisk
image in it, and print the files to a virtual printer port that you capture
to a pc file?

No, because then I'd have to type it all back in (or OCR it). It would be
much easier to transmit digital bits from one place to another.
