[G4] Replacement for Claris Works

[Thomas Brooks]

Here are two places to start. It is very easy to transition from  
ClarisWorks to AppleWorks and I think all documents are convertible.

 >

Prices appear to be max $40 and minimum less than $20.

Probably a lot of other options around. I think I may have an  
AppleWorks 5.0 disk around somewhere. Since it is no longer on my  
machine I could send to you for cost of postage if I can find it.
