I tried a few Appleworks word processor documents and they opened OK in Pages, 
but I can imagine that some would fail.

If you have drawing/painting or spreadsheet documents, it is more tricky. I 
have a program (Intaglio) which will have a go at opening Appleworks drawing 
files (and maybe paint files) but it is not always successful and if it does 
open the document the result can be a bit "wonky". I am not sure about 
spreadsheets.

Like Daniel we have working copies of Appleworks (and no doubt Clarisworks) on 
various computers but the problem is that the choices for saving the results 
are limited. RTF is available for word processor documents but the other 
formats have less useful options. In particular it is difficult to preserve the 
drawing characteristics of drawings.

I am happy to have a go at converting your files if you would like me to 
(contact me off list).
