A long time ago - like in the era that SE was new - there was a program 
called Apple File Exchange. It was mostly used to copy data to and from 
file systems that the Mac didn't support directly, but also had a 
plug-in document conversion system. I know I saw AppleWorks converters. 
Check at the info-mac archives, maybe.
