Kevin,
 
There are a number of tools on the HP 3000 that will unload data from
IMAGE files, creating disc files that can be loaded into PC applications.
Usually the files are formatted as comma-delimited PRN files, so that
they can be imported into almost any PC application.

One such tool is Suprtool for MPE, which can unload your IMAGE data to
PRN files. You then load the PRN file using the PC program's Import
capability. Suprtool can select, sort, and reformat the data in various
ways as it creates the PRN file, to match what is required by the PC.
