Not quit true. You can make a similar database within Excel even if not 
as intuatively as with AppleWorks.

The best you can do is to start Excel on your Mac and in the Data menu 
choose Get External Data (or something like that. I have a Swedish 
version :-) ) In the alternative you'll choose "Text import" and find 
your AW database in the Open Dialog Window.

Excel will feel that your database is suitably divided and you will get 
each post on a new line and each field in a new cell. After that you 
can add an additional line on top and enter the field name if you like.

This Excelfile is now easily transferable directly to Windows and there 
possible to import to FileMaker Pro or you can make it to a FM Pro file 
before forwarding to Windows.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.
