After installing LION I was unable to open Appleworks Six documents. I purchased and downloaded Pages.
You can drag each Appleworks Doc to Pages Icon. Each Doc is translated to Text Edit and can be saved on Desktop
or in Documnets.
TextEdit doesn't come into it. Pages can open AppleWorks Word Processing documents but no other type (and only Appleworks 6 at that). Numbers can open spreadsheets, Keynote can open presentations.
Draw Documents can be opened only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings).
However nothing can open paint or database documents.
