From Wikipedia.org:
> The modern incarnation of AppleWorks started life as ClarisWorks,
> written by Bob Hearn and Scott Holdaway and published by Claris (a
> spin-off from Apple, today known as FileMaker Inc). The file
> extension of AppleWorks and ClarisWorks documents is .cwk.
> ClarisWorks combined
>
> a word processor,
> a drawing program,
> a painting program,
> a spreadsheet,
> a database program,
> and a terminal program for communications.
> All the components were integrated to provide a seamless suite that
> worked in concert; for example, spreadsheet frames could be embedded
> in a word processing document, or formatted text into drawings, etc.
> A common misconception is that the components were derived from the
> existing Claris programs MacWrite and MacDraw. In fact, ClarisWorks
> was written from scratch and then redesigned to match other Claris
> programs after the purchase by Claris.
>
> ClarisWorks 1.0 shipped for the Macintosh in 1991 and subsequently
> ported to the Windows platform, shipping as ClarisWorks 1.0 for
> Windows in 1993. When the Claris company was disbanded and absorbed
> back into Apple, the product was renamed AppleWorks. In fact,
> version 5 of the software was first called ClarisWorks 5, before
> being renamed AppleWorks 5 following the product's return to Apple.
>
> The last version, AppleWorks 6, replaced the communications feature
> with a presentation feature (in prior versions there was only
> rudimentary support for presentations through the other features).
> It was also ported to the Carbon API to work on Mac OS X, but it did
> not take advantage of many of the newer features of Mac OS X.
>
> AppleWorks could create, open, and save files in a number of file
> formats. For example, word processor documents could be saved in
> Microsoft Word format, and spreadsheet files could be saved in
> Microsoft Excel format.
>
> The software received good reviews during the course of its lifespan
> for its interface and the tight integration of its modules. For
> example, a drawing "frame" could be placed in a spreadsheet
> document, a paint frame could be placed in a drawing document, etc.
> This allowed for very elaborate and data-rich layouts. However, the
> limitations of the product (such as its confusing and cumbersome
> stylesheet feature) became more apparent as the product aged. In
> August, 2007, Apple declared AppleWorks "end of life" and stated
> that they will no longer sell the package. The iWork package, which
> includes a word processing program, a spreadsheet, and a
> presentation graphics program, is intended to be its replacement.
> While much more feature-rich, iWork still lacks some of the modules
> and the tight integration of AppleWorks.
