AppleWorks Spreadsheet -> ClarisWorks

[wyanttr@spoc.dnet.dupont.com (Tom Wyant)]

This should really be a follow-up to a bunch of postings 
about the general issues involved in porting AppleWorks files 
to ClarisWorks, but I can't find the one I want to follow up, 
so I'm starting a separate thread.

In my post to the previous thread, I talked (among other 
things) about my difficulty resolving problems with the 
translation of spreadsheets. Somwhat to my suprise, I 
received a note from the last guy I talked to at Claris. Yes, 
they DO look at this newsgroup, and appear to care what 
people with Apple II issues think about them, to the extent 
of actually looking in a sample AppleWorks spreadsheet to 
try to understand the problem being reported. I'm not sure 
communication has occurred yet, but at least it is being 
attempted from both ends.

I do have a couple questions for the forum in general, in my 
attempt to get to the bottom of things:

* Has anyone had any problems with translating an AppleWorks 
spreadsheet to ClarisWorks, providing the formulas contain 
only cell references (eg: +A1+A2)?

* Has anyone else had any problems translating formulas 
containing numeric constants (eg: +A1+42, which my translator 
translates as =A1+200)?

* Has anyone had NO problems with formulas containing numeric 
constants?

I'd like to request responses by mail rather than by post, 
since my news feed (or my news reader!) appears to lose 
postings sometimes. I'll summarize the responses in a couple 
weeks.
