The emulator is useless in this situation. I hope he has still access
to a GS, because he needs to save the files in AppleWorks Classic format
(Apple //e Appleworks if you want) [Sorry, but the Caris AWGS translator
is only for the Word Processor, and one way towards the mac)
It would be nice If he could store them with GS/OS 6.x on HFS (Mac-specific
disks) otherwise he nedds to use Apple File Exchange on the Mac (shipped
with every MAc, as I know)
After this conversion it's a snap to import the files into ClarisWorks
(be sure to select Data Base or Spreadheet Files, otherwise you'll only
see ClarisWorks Files in the File Dialog)

Hope it was clear enough...
