Hi, Mike!

        With Apple File Exchange, you can read a ProDOS 3.5" diskette
directly.  Also, if you can find a friend with a //e Emulator Board in
his/her Macintosh LC, you can borrow the ProDOS extension and mount the
3.5" ProDOS diskette as if it were a Macintosh diskette.

        Past that - what program are you bringing the AppleWorks files
into?  ClarisWorks will read the files directly, as soon as they're on
readable media.  MicroSoft Works needs the Works<>Works translator, which
is a no-charge extension to Apple File Exchange.

        AFE (Apple File Exchange) is on most older system installs, and
was on the System 7.5.2 CD a customer got with his Quadra 9500/133 just
two months ago.
