Thanks xy, it is a long time ago since I left german school (I believe 20 years or so)...

Thanks, TataMisia.

IIGS User, traditional German "Rechtschreibung" is not outdated at all. Many German book publishers and almost all major German newspapers, e.g. Frankfurter Allgemeine and others, still apply or explicitly reverted to the old German rules:

There is great and justified resistance against the reform. Poor schoolkids, however, have to learn and apply reformed German rules.

Here is another download link:
http://www.macgui.com/downloads/?file_id=22400
I do not know yet, whether the macgui download link has the German or English version.

Please, do not overwrite the German version; it probably has German dictionaries which are rare and useful. Not everybody on this website writes English only.

Thanks for giving the external download link - I checked it, it is the english version, also 2.0.1, but in pre-installed manner.

Speaking about the german dictionaries included in this' page download, they're totally outdated since we germans have been forced to write completely different than before: German Word of the Day

Download does not work. Here is another download link:

Anyway, there is supposed to exist a 2.0.3 update.

Hi all, here is GreatWorks 2.0 (take a look to GreatWorks 1.0, too).

Unfortunately, this is a german version for now. So, if you're able to catch an english version at some places, you're welcome to replace this one.

To install, mount all included Disk Images to the emulated Mac, go the Disk Image 'Installation' and run 'Aktualisierer'.
