Appleworks is not part of the 10.3 (or any 10.x) retail distribution.  
It is available either as a separate purchase, or as a bundled  
application on some consumer-level Macs (iMac, eMac, Mini, and  
iBook). It is no longer bundled with current Macs.

For bundled systems, it is usually found in a dmg file in a hidden  
folder on the restore disk, and can be installed by drag/dropping  
into Applications. Some folders may need to be dropped into /Library  
as well. It can also be installed by the aforementioned utility. On  
some install/restore discs, it is known as "install Bundled Software  
Only". See <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301408>  
under the section entitled "Reinstall some (but not all) bundled  
applications without erasing the Mac OS X volume".


If using the version from older restore disk sets, there are other  
hoops that can be jumped through to avoid erasing the drive.
