Copy source from the AS/400 to a PC for archival purposes...

Does anybody know an easy way to copy ALL source members from a given source 
file to a PC?

I know that I can save the source to a save file and FTP that to my PC as a 
binary, but I would like to have BOTH save file AND text versions of the source 
on my PC.  This way I can view source on my PC without having to load it back 
on the AS/400.


Back in the early days (circa 1989) of PC Support/400, I had written a batch 
file that:

1) Ran a remote command on the AS/400 which did a DSPFD *MBRLIST on the source 
physical file to an outfile.

2) Ran a file transfer request which download this file to the PC.

3) Ran a BASIC program which read this file and created the FDF and TFR files 
for each member to transfer.

4) As it created the FDF and TFR files, it wrote a record to another batch file 
with the appropriate RTOPCB command.

5)  When finished, it ran the batch file created in (4) to actually download 
all of the source members to individual files on the PC.

I don't have this program any more, but I'm sure that there is an easier way to 
do this today, but I'm not sure.  Can anybody give me ideas as to how do this 
now?

Thanks in advance for your help!
