Re: 8-bit Appleworks files

Thanks to all for the suggestions and discussion.  My files are very
definitely on Apple 2 formatted media (3.5" disk, plus one 5.25 that
probably is duplicated on the 3.5).  I do not have the data on my
PC/windows machine.  The Mac will be my translator, and I just might
go rent one for 30 minutes at Kinkos and see what happens.
