I just got "Cross-Works" by SoftSpoken and it is a great program/hardware
package.  Cross-Works transfers AppleWorks files to IBM PC files.  It comes
with a 10 foot cable with two IBM connectors on one end and three Apple
connectors on the other.  The transfer rate is 19,200bps direct, Apple<-->IBM
or thru modems at the modems bps.
 
Default Conversions
-------------------
 
AppleWorks WP              to        WordPerfec{ on IBM
AppleWorks Sp              to        Lotus 1-2-3 on IBM
AppleWorks DB              to        dBase III, IV on IBM
Generic Apple Text         to        DOS ASSCII Text on IBM
 
AppleWorks DB              to        Delimited ASCII file on IBM
AppleWorks WP              to        Gemeric Word Proc. on IBM
 
and reverse, IBM   to AppleWorks
 
 
The AppleWorks DB   to   Q & A    transfer I made was already set up with
catagories and I had no clean-up to due.  If you work with both type of
machines, the $80 for Crossworks is well worth it.
