Installing Appleworks 6 on an Intel-based Mac

[Verne Arase]

I've licenced Appleworks 6, ostensibly to allow us to open documents from
my daughter's teachers.

I'll be giving my family an iMac 20" for Christmas, and would like to move
Appleworks from my Powerbook to their iMac.

From what I remember, Appleworks installs in Classic, then you run an
updater which takes the orginal classic app and makes it a carbon app which
can run under MacOS X. Given that the iMac lacks classic, and that the
classic apps need to be present for the updater to work, has anyone come up
with a strategy for installing Appleworks 6 on an Intel-based Mac?

Being as how AW is non-native, I'd hate to have to buy it again just so I
could install it on their iMac.

So ...

1. Before I even get started, does AW even run under Rosetta?

2. If so, has anyone come up with a strategy for migrating AW to an
Intel-based Mac?

3. Any other Gotchas moving to an Intel Mac? I'd like to make this as
painless as possible considering I'm finally weaning them off their Wintel
box ...

Followups to comp.sys.mac.apps.

The latter AppleWorks CD is version 6.2 and includes OS 9 and OSX
versions. There is an update at Apple for 6.2.9

The installation creates "AppleWorks 6 Installer Log" and "AppleWorks 6
Updater Log". I think it left them at the top level of the hard drive.
If you look in these you will see the file locations. Nearly
everything seems to go in the AppleWorks folder in "Applications", plus
some fonts in the OS 9 folder. Copying the AppleWorks folder may be
all you need for an Intel Mac.
