Need to read Mac ClarisWorks on PC

[ThurzNite]

My roommate has a ClarisWorks file on a Mac floppy. Is there any way he can read it on his win98se machine? He has Office 2000, if that helps any. I guess the first problem is reading the Mac disk, and the second problem is finding a converter. Does anybody have any ideas on how to do this? If all the formating doesn't come over, plain text is fine. Thanx!

Do you have access to a Mac? If so, put the file on that machine, and open up ClarisWorks and save it as a plain text file. I am not sure if this is exactly what it is called, but there should be something similar. Once you've saved it, get a PC disk, which Macs can read. I hope this helps...

Slim: you're assuming powerpc, right? Also, we can't seem to find a computer on campus that has ClarisWorks. Is there another program that can open it, like word for Mac, and then try to save as text onto a PC floppy?

Hmm, I think that a Mac version of Wordperfect may work. Let me know if you can't find it on campus, I may be able to help. Email me at ryanjoslyn@yahoo.com if need be.
