	AppleWorks GS is still copyrighted, I believe not by Claris (or 
Apple), but by Scantron Quality Computers. Though they do not publish them 
no more, but you should be able to pick a used copy from the InterNet 
relatively cheap. I got mine for equalivant US$6.50 (box and manual) 
last year ... I had inherited disks with no manuals originally.

	You can download Apple's HyperCard IIGS and System 6.01 from the 
Apple's FTP sites (apple_software_upgrades) for free.

	Or visit the two main FTP sites for public domain programs (i.e. 
shareware, freeware stuff): apple2.caltech.edu & ground.isca.uiowa.edu

	You can also visit the Treasure Chest Project which lists 
reclassified software which were once commercial to public domain at this

	Others, well, you should be picking up other posts that will give 
other directions where to look for, e.g. Nathan Mate's csa2 Apple II FAQs.
