(Mac) Appleworks 6 will allow you to save a spreadsheet in ASCII format.  
This is a TAB delimited file (TABs between fields, RETURNs at the end of 
each record).  Now it's been quite a while since I have used AppleWorks 
5 (Classic), but I'm quite sure it will allow you to import such a file 
as a spreadsheet, using the TAB/RETURN delimiting to sort the file 
properly.  Of course you WILL loose any fancy features, but this would 
probably happen no matter what conversion scheme you used.
