Never heard of AppleWorks.  The "Application" style of software development was kind of a mistake I think, in part because people wanted to sell solutions.  The better model is to make functions, and then turn your whole computer/operating system into a cohesive information/data management system.

Those old 80's microcomputers were fun to use though.
