Is is possible to read Appleworks wordprocessing files off of a 3.5in. disk and onto an IBM PS/2 model 50? I have an Apple IIgs that my dad did I lot of wordprocessing on and now we also have a IBM. I want to take the IBM to my dorm so I need to be able to transfer the files. My apple has a modem - the IBM dosen't if that's any help. Thanks.

It also comes with a program that will let you transfer files between ProDOS and MSDOS. Your IBM PC hard disk can ALSO be used as an Apple // hard disk. I really like it. If you would like more info, send me email, call my BBS, or call me. I'll be glad to send you the info sheets on the Trackstar. -- | fordke@ingr.com OR ...!uunet!ingr!fordke OR 205-730-8614 | Micro Magic BBS 205-830-2362 IBM/Apple2/Trackstar/Fido/News/Echoes | "...and the Trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe, and saw." -Rush
