[X-Newbies] Appleworks not responding

[Al Poulin]

Keith:

I just reviewed this thread going back to August 30 or so.  What 
machine do you have?  What versions of OS install disks do you have?  
Answers here could help folks give you better answers.

If you have a consumer Mac like an iMac, eMac, or an iBook, your 
AppleWorks came on the machine and is in the machine's original OS 
install disk(s).  If so, the experts here can advise how to use the 
install disks to dig AppleWorks out of it.   Then you can fetch the 
latest update from the Apple web site.  Even if your OS install disk is 
for OS 8 or 9, you can get going and update to the OS X version, 
provided your machine is still able to start up in the older OS.

If you do not have an iMac, eMac or iBook, then your AppleWorks likely 
came off a specific AppleWorks CD-ROM.  You can get one from some 
vendors.  Try Other World Computing (OWC) or the AppleWorks User Group. 
  Sometimes you'll receive an e-Mac applications disk with AppleWorks on 
it.

Hope this helps,

Al Poulin
