Is the problem that you don't have a copy of TW-64 anymore?  Because I'm
pretty sure you can export it to a plain text file from within TW-64,
either on the CoCo or in an emulator.  Not sure how your German
characters would translate to ASCII though.  But if they showed up in
some form, you could likely just grep them to something useful.

There was a separate I/O utility called S.ASC that allowed plain ASCII
disk file reads and writes.
