Convert MCW to IPYNB (Jupyter Notebook)

The MCW file extension stands for MacWrite II Document, a text file format created by Apple for its MacWrite II word processing program, which is now discontinued. These documents store text and basic page formatting information and can be opened by MacWrite II, ClarisWorks, and AppleWorks. Given the discontinuation of these programs, users may need to convert MCW files to more common formats like DOC or DOCX for compatibility with modern word processors.

The IPYNB file extension stands for "Interactive Python Notebook" and is used exclusively with Jupyter Notebook. It is a JSON file format that contains a complete record of user sessions, including code, narrative text, equations, and visualizations. The IPYNB files facilitate reproducible research and easy sharing of data analysis workflows. Originating from the IPython project, Jupyter Notebook has expanded its capabilities to support multiple programming languages, making it a versatile tool in the data science and machine learning communities. The format's history traces back to the early 2010s when it was developed to enhance interactive computing and collaborative work.
