Tech Query Sending Files to an IMAC

[Paula Neale <PLNeale@AOL.COM>]

I have a friend who wants a copy of a rather large data base which I have in
Clarisworks 4.  She has an Imac with Appleworks (Which I am guessing would be
Clarisworks 5 if they hadn't reconfigured the company).

I suppose the only way to get it to her is to try to send it as an email
attachment--not something I have had much experience with.  My questions are:

Will her Appleworks open my Clarisworks file or do I need to save it as
something else?
If Appleworks can open the Clarisworks file, we both have Aol, so can I just
attach the file as is.  I tried this sending from my main screen name to a
secondary screen name and it seemed to work.

I am asking in advance about whether this will work because she will get very
frustrated if she tries to open the attachment and can't.

I think that if she plans to work on the computer both at home and at school
as I do, she will really need to bite the bullet and get an external drive.
Does anyone use one of those Imation super drives?  Do they work well?  I
have used a zip disk here and on my Mac at school for years and have trouble
imagining doing my job without it?
