Comments
This is true, absolutely.
I need to run this one.
Great for importing/converting old AppleWorks files from my Apple ll’ s.
Added a pre-installed AppleWorks 6.2.3, Dutch version (DL #11).
True, but I use both the current version 6 of Libre Office on my Windows10 box right along with version 4 on my MDD in OSX with no troubles. Version 4 is considered by many in the Linux community to be the PERFECT Office Suite. It here on the garden too
( https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/libre-office-4062-ppc ). Just avoid old version of OpenOffice and NeoOffice. They are buggy and very poorly optimized for PPC.
You mean LibreOffice? I wish an OS 9 version existed.
Even OS X PPC has been abandoned for a while.
If you are printing your own pamphlet, flyers or other paper-good, you could certainly to worse, but I realized years ago, when this first came out it was a terrible option if you needed to share / work with PC users. The very poor support for MS Office, just makes it too hard to use. Honestly Office 2001 is every bit as peppy, runs in both OS9 and OSX and even has plugins for .docx.
I feel that the modern choice and inheritor of the Word Perfect / Apple Works style of office suites is honestly Libre. None of the labyrinthine top-menus, good contextual control of most common things and really good compatibility (honestly, for editing pdfs, it does much better than all but the most recent versions of Acrobat Pro). And IT'S FREE (donationware).
Just had to write a letter. I did it in Apple Works 6 on my OS9 machine and printed it via ethernet on my postscript-compatible Kyocera printer. Such a joy to still being able to use Apple Works in 2019! It's swift, it's small, it's non-bloated. After all those years I know the program and where all the functions are. It's a pity that whenever we got to know an office package and know where all the needed functions are, we have to move on to another program or version. Just from an efficiency standpoint it doesn't make any sense.
Apple Works is everything an office package should be like. (hear that, Microsoft?)
Mistyping, me. Mean 6.2, since the higher updaters complained about not to found the 6.x version already installed, but:
Solution:
When AppleWorks 6 is not installed on the boot volume, the installer complains, version 6.2.8 seems already to be installed, even if it is 6.0.4 really.
When I moved the AppleWorks 6 folder onto the boot drive volume, the 6.2.8/6.2.9 installer worked as expected and updated the pre 6.2 version fine.
@ IIGS_User - 2018, December 10 - 6:42am
Do you REALLY need version 6.2.2? Otherwise, there is updater for version 6.2.8 still available on the Apple website:
3rd download: "AppleWorks 6.2.9 (Deutsch)"
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL617?locale=fr_CA
And minimum requirement seems to be only Appleworks 6.0:
"This update replaces any version of AppleWorks for Macintosh 6.0 or later with AppleWorks 6.2.9 for Mac OS X 10.1 or later and AppleWorks 6.2.8 for Mac OS 8.1"
When re-installing a PowerBook Pismo recently, I realized that my custom-made Updaters CD (5th d/l from above) comes with an 6.2 US updater only, it won't update other language versions.
The other updater files for newer versions require any newer AppleWorks 6 version than installed from original media, so:
Anyone, knows a link to 6.2.2 German updater?
I've heard things that v6.2.9 the Last introduces some problems such that it's better to hang back to maybe 6.2.3/6.2.4 - anybody know specifics? So how is the v6.2.7 ?
I added my copy of AppleWorks 6.1 Education Edition. Let me know if I uploaded it correctly.
@blackholemac: Thanks for adding the 6.2.9 install CD.
posted AppleWorks 6.2.9 full installer cd above
great i was looking for this but can someone put the cd image on the page
IIGS Delivers!!!
nice one...
The bottom five files has been re-uploaded.
wazeem, try Software Update (in the Control Panels), it should get you the right Carbon Lib Update (probably 1.6).
Some .app files do work in OS 9 if Carbon Lib is installed
yeh but it could be me not taking the time to read things properly, seems like I need to download and install that Carbon update thing from Apple. My PPC OS9.1 is running Carbon 1.1.1 - but I don't know how to run an ".app" file in OS9.1 anyway. You may throw custard pies at me now *grimaces in readyness*
Thanks to ALL MacAddicts who have contributed to vandalize (in a GOOD WAY ) this post.
BTW The Appleworks for Windows XP version works fine.
Independent of that comment, I've found some other AW6 installer downloads:
http://download.nides.bc.ca/Software/Mac/
darn it another download that didn't run. I've downloaded AppleWorks 6.2, Carbonized version
Appleworks 6.2 Carbon.sit (17.51 MB) to run on my PPC OS9.1 - but it don't!? I get the AppleWorks 6.app file but running it says, wrong OS
Added Windows Installer and Updater to 6.2.2. I know this works very well under WinXP. Let me know if the fonts are not included, and I will post them too.
I saw the disc that has this the other day (one disc, in at least 200). It is (I believe) an updater that installs the entire program, and a folder of TTF fonts. I'll find it. If I have to search the internetz again, I'll find it!!
YES! Please post the PC version,
THANKS!
Could be of interest, because it is veeeeery rare as well...
This is one of the most epic uploads on this site. Please quit griping about the Simp. Chinese version. The simple fact is, this is a pretty complete collection of a very useful and popular Apple integrated app suite.
PS. I have the TTF fonts saved separately for those willing to try the PC version. I believe the installer is still freely available (as an updater), but does not contain the fonts, making ALL the templates USELESS.
Pls let me know if you wish to post a PC version on this page as well...
YES! That upgrade way is still working.
An untouched install made in SheepShaver can be upgraded to 6.2.9 PPC if the upgrade installer finds it in the root folder of startup volume. Rosetta cares about running the app on Intel very nice.
You could probably copy the installment out of SheepShaver to the Mac OS X host system and update it from there. For me, I've copied the AppleWorks 6 installment at its time from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X PPC, then I've moved it to my current Mac OS X 10.6 system.
Is it possible to create a OSX install from the German .CDRs?
The versions (6.2.9) seem to be equal, but there sure is some catch...
Apple Works D-6.2.9 runs perfectly with SheepShaver OS D-9.0. Many thanks again.
IIGS - thanks a lot for the upload, this really helps a lot. Herzlichen Dank!
Such a pity Apple decided to discontinue Apple Works. I always felt it was closing the gap between simple editors like TextEdit and the ever-growing MS Office suite. Apple Works was capable of doing most of the things that the average person wanted to do - plus doing it in a non-painful way. Thanks Apple for killing another great project :-/
@ IIGS_User: Danke für die deutsche Version!
Thanks for the German version!
Done.
Me too. I would very much appreciate the effort, IIGS_User.
Yes please, do upload the German version of AppleWorks 6, if you find the time.
I dont mind English apps and OS too much, but my wife refuses using any non German UI.
Me. But I don't sell.
Though, I could add it to this page, at some time.
Does anyone know where to get the German version of AppleWorks 6?
IIGS User: its for historical value
Like my upload MS Office 2001. Only screenshots is mine
it doesn't matter,
this post has been so vandalized, the only thing I recognized is the screenshot.
Euryale, I make little adds in your upload.
Dont be angry.
If you dont like it, just remowe it.
I believe this is how it all works:
AppleWorks 6.2 Carbon.sit
Will run on both Mac OS 8.6 - 9.2.2 (CarbonLib extension required) as well as Mac OS X. The purpose of this would be, for example, if you have Mac OS 8/9 and Mac OS X on the same computer and you want them both to be able to use the same AppleWorks, instead of installing one for Mac OS 8/9 and another one for Mac OS X.
AppleWorks 6.2 OSX.sit
Would run only on Mac OS X.
AppleWorks 6.2 installer.sit
Contains AppleWorks 6.2.3 for Mac OS 8 & 9 and AppleWorks 6.2.4 for Mac OS X. However, I believe the installer itself will only run on pre-Mac OS X systems (unless the Mac OS X systems have a working Classic installation).
Also, when performing the 'Easy Install', the installer states:
AppleWorks6.2SC.sit
Is, as sheepmyshaver123 stated, the Simplified Chinese version of AppleWorks 6.2.
Thanks for the info, sheepmyshaver123.
Who on earth needs that?
@DMNT
It is the Simplified Chinese version of AppleWorks 6.2.
I also don't know the difference between
Appleworks 6.2 Carbon.sit
and
Appleworks 6.2 OSX.sit
which, from technical understanding, must be the same part of software.
AppleWorks 6.2 installer.sit
installs AW depending on the System it runs (classic or carbon)
Appleworks6.2SC.sit
I've no idea what this is.
I don't know,
someone vandalized my original post.
now i don't even know which one is mine.
What is the difference with the Appleworks6.2SC.sit?
Ok Thanks!, Then I'll keep the older version,
Then I guess Carbon means only-for-Mac OS X-ready-hardware,
I remember PowerPC Macs ran 68k software through internal emulation,
so I think this is the case, just one step further.
now I get it.
