It depends on what version of AppleWorks you have. AW 6 is carbonized, but only something like 6.2 and higher are "officially" supported in OS X. If you have AW 6, make sure you're updated all the way to 6.2.4. > 2) Is AppleWorks OS specific or somehow "carbonized"?

AppleWorks is carbonized, and will run in either OS 9 or OS X.

Some individual apps can be reinstalled separately, some cannot. If you look on your software install CD, there's a folder called Applications.... wherein you will find an AppleWorks installer. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
