It is highly unlikely that a PC user will be using a database. Almost every PC user uses Excel as a database as well as a spreadsheet. There really isn't any "structure & all" to it. ASCII text will separate each field in the database by tabs & each record by a return. It will not retain any field labels. This can be opened or imported by any spreadsheet or database. You can test this for yourself by opening the saved ASCII text file as a spreadsheet in AppleWorks.
Some PC users will use Microsoft Works which does have a database. MSWorks can also open or import your ASCII text file in its database or spreadsheet modules. The only way to retain field labels in transfering a database to another program would be to save the database as a DBF. AppleWorks 6 can't save as DBF. If you have a Mac that can use Classic
and you have AppleWorks 5 you can save the AppleWorks 6 database as AppleWorks 5, open it in AppleWorks 5 & then Save As… DBF in AppleWorks 5.
When saving any "foreign" file format from AppleWorks, either 5 or 6, you will have to add the appropriate 3-letter file extension to the file name. AppleWorks won't do it for you. Use .txt for ASCII or plain text or .dbf for the DBF files.
