Re: AppleWorks to Mac (?)



You didn't say which "Works" you were using. ClarisWorks will open (and 
convert to ClarisWorks format, complete with underlining, boldface, 
margins, etc. intact) AppleWorks word processor files. It will also open 
AW database and spreadsheet files.

As long as you can get your files back to a ProDOS formatted disk, your 
GS and AppleWorks should be able to read them just fine. If you have 
GS/OS System 6 and the HFS FST installed (it's the file translator that 
allows you to read/write Mac format) you will be able to read the disk in 
its current format (assuming you have a high-density SuperDrive; 
otherwise you'll have to put it on a DD disk) from GS/OS, but AppleWorks 
won't be able to get to it because it's a ProDOS-8 application, and P8 
doesn't do HFS. Simplest solution: Use Apple File Exchange to move the 
files back to a ProDOS disk.
