There is source code in the comp.sources.apple2 archives that creates and
undoes the AAF format.
It's not too hard to undo it by hand, if you have a decent text editor. An
AAF file consists of three kinds of lines:
1. Lines that begin with "=". The remainder of the line contains a file
name. The data lines that follow should be put into the named file.
2. Lines that begin with "-". The remainder of the line contains data for
the most-recently-named file. The leading "-" should be stripped off, and
whatever's left goes into the file.
3. Lines that begin with "+". This indicates the end of the archive.
Any line that doesn't begin with one of those three characters is not part
of the archive, and should be ignored.

P.S. I have a version of the source code in shar format...I could send it
to you if you'd prefer not to fight with the AAF format.
