I need to transfer a large number of fairly complex AppleWorks spreadsheets to an IBM PC that will run some kind of spreadsheet (Lotus 1-2-3 or Microsoft Excel) that reads in SYLK-format files. Is there somewhere out in netland a utility that converts ASP files into the SYLK format? It's best if it runs on the Apple //e, but I could transfer the files to a Unix machine as binary images and do the conversions there, then zap them over to the PC.

Well, there's a product called Cross-Works (v2.0) by SoftSpoken that converts AppleWorks files to "most popular MS-DOS programs" among which is Lotus 1-2-3. It doesn't say anything about a SYLK format though.

Crossworks might work. Another possibility is to use AFE on a Mac to convert it to a Microsoft Works file, which then could probably be imported into Microsoft Excel on a Mac, and I suspect it would then be possible to transfer it to an IBM since I would think that Microsoft either has a utility for reading Mac Excel files on an IBM or else Works can probably export it as a SLYK file. __________________________________________________________ | | | Alan H.
