Emulation
This app works with: Basilisk II, Mini vMac Mini vMac II

MacWrite II is a powerful and easy-to-use midlevel word processor. It offers a faithful implementation of the Macintosh interface, a powerful find/replace function, elegant multiple columns and mail-merge.

While it will run on a 68000 Mac such as the Plus or SE; but the performance is painfully slow. For these machines, choose either an older MacWrite version or WriteNow

• DL #1: Claris MacWrite II 1.0v2, partially complete, missing are Claris XTND, Claris Translators & "Claris Help System" files.
   
• DL #2: Claris MacWrite II 1.1v2 - June 1991 (US), complete set includes international dictionaries, Claris XTND, Translator files, Help, Stationery Templates, and a pre-installed but not-written-to application file.
   
• DL #3: MacWrite II 1.1 Spanish version, the executable app only.
   
• DL #4: MacWrite II 1.0v1 Japanese version - partially complete. Stuffed with Stuffit Lite 3.6.
   
• DL #5: International dictionaries and hyphenation software for Claris MacWrite II.
  For the French, German, Spanish, UK English and US English languages.
  • Note: If you've downloaded MacWrite II version 1.1v2 (DL #2 above) you do not need to DL this dictionary set, as it is also included in with the 2nd DL.

Requires a Mac Plus or later, 1 MB RAM, System 6.0 or higher

The Complete set (2nd DL above) runs very well on Basilisk II running SSW 7.1.1, also runs fine on Mini vMac, SSW 6.0.8 - SSW 7.1.

Interesting "Help" system. The HyperCard v1.x Engine is built into MacWrite II. The Help file itself is a Stack and the MacWrite II 1.1v2 Help system can open external HyperCard v1.x Stacks with limited User Levels available.

The Claris Help System now supports cut and paste operations from within the MacWrite II Help System or from any HyperCard stack.

To open a HyperCard stack from within the Help system:

1. Choose Help from the Apple menu to open the MacWrite II Help System.
2. Press Command-M to display the Message box.
3. Type "Go" (no quotation marks) in the Message box and press Return.
   The "Where is ?" dialog box appears.
4. Locate the stack you want to open.
5. Select the name and click OK.

The optional MacWrite II Thesaurus works well in SSW 6. - In SSW 7 it still works, but is clumsy to use.

Bought a PowerBook 550c and it has an installation of MacWrite II-J 1.0v1 - I’ll upload it shortly It also has a large amount of Japanese Claris software on the HD and I’ll work on the uploads for those too.

@macjames: You could add it (the Spanish version). I've added international dictionaries above, which includes the Spanish dictionary for MW II.

I could also upload version 1.1 but it's in spanish, and no extra files, just the application, is it worth it?
