I would suggest the "RepairWorks" package by Gary Morrison, which I believe
handles corrupted AppleWorks files of all three types.  I also believe it's
available from Quality Computers.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong; they do when I'm not wrong.  :)

(And if this works, you're obligated to send me the name of the clinician
and the program for the concert(s) in mail.)
