Re: AppleWorks --> Mac

[jtollison@emeraldis.com (John Tollison)]

   I don't know about the other two, but for appleworks I just stick my
GS's disk into my mac and it knows what to do with them. In other words
the mac can read disks formatted in ProDos, and MacLink should be able to
translate Appleworks files(I think). If it can't translate Appleworks file
just save them as text before moving them over. All of this assumes that
you have a 5.25" on your GS so that you can get the files onto a 3.5". I
don't have any experiance with emulators so I can't answer that question.

Hope this helps
