For normal OS-9 files, you could use the program OS9.EXE; that's if 
WinXP has the equivalent of a DOS mode. However, the "files" you want 
reside in track 34 and are not readable as files by OS-9.

The only simple way to get access to these modules is to run 
OS-9/NitrOS-9 by booting the disk, saving the modules to the disk, and 
then moving the modules as desired. This can be done on a real Coco or 
with any emulator that runs in WinXP.
