Hi, after upgrading my Bondi Blue to 0S X.2, I can't open my older saved appleworks documents, V.5, that are saved on back-up disks. However, when I changed the startup disk to OS 9.2, (took forever to rebuild the desktop!) I could open them, so I know the documents are not corrupted or anything. I really want to boot in X, not classic. I think Appleworks 6.0 works in both 9 & 10 and I thought it would open older docs regardless, but I'm not having any success. It seem to only boot in OS X (the blue apple is showing) even though classic is open. I tried reinstalling it, thinking something loaded wrong, but it keeps doing the same thing. Any ideas? Thanks!

There are two different versions of AppleWorks 6, one for OS 9 (latest version is 6.2.5, I believe) and one for OS X (latest version 6.2.7?). You need to have the OS X version in your OS X applications folder if you want to avoid Classic mode. However, the OS 9 version should work in Classic.
Either version will tell you that it is creating a new file when it opens an AppleWorks 5 document.

The versions aren't separable on my Early 2001 G3 500MHz running OS 10.1.5 over OS 9.2.2. There is only one visible installation of AppleWorks, and it's in the "Applications (OS 9)" folder. Double-clicking the icon from OS X doesn't start Classic: it just starts V.6.2.7. Double-clicking the icon from OS 9.2.2 evokes V.6.2.5 instead.
It's all magic to me. I agree Lauren has to upgrade

but I would allow installation into the classic Apps folder, and just put an alias in the OS X Apps folder. I think I read on a list around here that that's the best way to store Carbon apps.
