[comp.sys.apple] AppleWorks file formats wanted!

mpk9172@ritcv.UUCP (Michael Kirby) (01/13/88)

Hi folks.  Quick question:  I am developing software that provides a gateway
between IBMs and Apples.  One of the things that this entails is converting
Apple files to IBM files (i.e. AppleWorks files to 1-2-3 or WordPerfect, etc.)

The key thing that I am missing here is the AppleWorks file formats!  I recall
at one point that they were distributed on the Apple technical notes that are
sent to members of the Apple User Group Connection, but I can't seem to find
anyone with a complete set.

ANY help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.  Replies to bitnet or
UUCP accepted...

I have the formats for all three Appleworks file structures.  Also, a Pascal
source code portion to read AWP files as a continuous string of ASCII
characters.  If you provide some contact information, I'll mail you a copy.
The package is not online, so USPS will have to do.

BTW, I infer from your message that you are looking at a one-direction transfer
and am curious if that is correct?
