Old document sample files?
« on: July 20, 2026, 03:04:55 PM »

I'm working on an app that will convert many old Mac OS file formats (Claris Works, WordPerfect, MS Office, etc.) to modern formats, and am looking for sample documents to use for testing. Is there a site somewhere that has samples of old Mac files that I can use for this? I know I can create many such files from an emulator, but it would be good to have some real-world examples. Any useful information will be welcome.

make a list of exact programs and versions, then people can upload what they have.

or do you want as many as possible?

Basically I'm looking for anything listed here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/libmwaw/wiki/Home/

I'm trying to build a modern app that uses all the libmwaw filters. Laurent Alonso built an Intel-only app some years ago, but the era of Intel-only apps is coming to an end, so I'm trying to make a substitute.
