I have been taking a look at the ClarisWorks importer using a test document

Does anyone have any documentation on the ClarisWorks/AppleWorks file format?
No. see libcwk.sf.net
I'm the "maintainer" of that stuff and haven't gotten deeper to the reverse engineering. And I'm not sure if I'm still allowed to do so given my current employer. I did officially request such a document.
What follows is based on the existing code in the importer.
The initial problem appears to be an endian-ness problem between PPC and
Intel.
I was aware of that, but given the non functionnal state of the importer I did not care much. I wrote that on PPC hardware :-)
I understand that the code appears to be written for v5 of the file format, and the
file that Seth sent me is from v6, so this might be the problem.
Both file format differ. I did work on v5, not v6
