I have a mailing list from appleworks but on my new imac but no way to open it.
I went to a local apple store with my last computer and the geniuses diagnosed a dead HD and got me to buy a new imac. The drive was not dead I later find out so I retrieved a database mailing list that is no longer supported on my new imac. I cannot find an old copy of appleworks to put on the new machine and I don't know if any other product will be able to read it.

I'm getting ready to upgrade to Filemaker Pro 10-I have Appleworks 6.2 on my Intel. Did you check your old software for Appleworks it may be bundled in with your computer software. There may be a copy in there. I built a small database
on Appleworks and saved it as an ASCII text then imported it to my current filemaker. You have to create the same database in Filemaker then import the file from Appleworks I'm no rocket scientist or computer expert but it wouldn't import from the Test.cwk file I created. Only if I saved it as an ASCII text file in the save as drop down menu. I would call Filemaker and explain your situation.
Tell them all the facts, what version of Appleworks about you computer etc. But I would look in your old software packages for an old copy of Appleworks- Answered by WJ from Houston
