Regarding installing AppleWorks 6 on OSX: You can't just take the OS9 AppleWorks 6 installer and install it on 10. If you have AppleWorks 6 installed on OS9 this is what you do to get it to run in OSX: Simply drag folder from OS9 to your OSX applications folder and open it. I use AppleWorks 6 on my PowerBook 1.67GHZ running OS 10.4.11, my PowerMac Gigabyte Ethernet DP 500MHZ running OS 10.4, PowerBook Lombard 333MHZ running OS 10.3. I have never dragged it from a computer running classic though, so when you first drag it you might have to disable classic then open it from OSX then enable classic again.-Jonas On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 7:42 PM, AIM Mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
