This isn't quite the answer you were looking for but ClarisWorks claims to be
able to import WriteNow files (caveat:I don't have any so I can't test it)
which may be good enough since most new Macs come with ClarisWorks
pre-installed. The Web features of ClarisWorks Office (or version 5.0) make
Web publishing of docs easy so if any of these old files are intended for the
Web then this may be a neat solution.

If you like, I'm happy to try reading one or two of his files into ClarisWorks
to see how well it works.
