[TriLUG] can anyone read a 5.25" floppy disk?

I've got a book of astronomical programs written for 
portability in the modern language of Turbo Pascal on a real 
5.25" floppy disk (well it could have worse, it could have 
been BASIC)

Presumably at a pinch I could type everything by hand from 
the text, but there are hundreds of double real constants 
and I'd make a couple of mistakes on the way and be 
expecting sunrise at midday.

Can anyone read this disk to save me typing in all the 
numbers?

Thanks Joe
