If you can print them out, try scanning them and use OCR (Optical Character Recognition). It might be easier.

A program like Quickview Plus will let you open most files. Then you can copy and past from there.

Word has a Wordstar converter, but it needs to be installed, as it is not selected by the Default installation.
