AppleWorks no longer supported
My beloved AppleWorks is no longer supported:
Macworld magazine discovered that the Web address for AppleWorks, Apple's long-in-the-tooth office productivity program for the Mac, now redirects to the site for iWork '08, the $79 word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation program that the company launched in 2005. The 23-year-old AppleWorks, one of the first integrated office programs released for personal computers, is dead.
I've been using this suite for over 20 years, ever since it started out as MacDraw and MacPaint. And just as I used Claris Emailer for years after its supposed "death," I'll keep using AppleWorks for word processing, and for creating website sketches, until I see a better Mac-compatible draw program.. if that ever happens. (Any suggestions?)
(Thanks, Cat)

This is not accurate.
(1) AppleWorks was an Apple II product.
(2) MacPaint and MacDraw were Macintosh products.
(3) ClarisWorks was a separate product, not based on MacPaint or MacDraw, created by different engineers.
(4) AppleWorks, the Apple II product, was discontinued.
(5) ClarisWorks was renamed AppleWorks.
...which clears it right up :) He also suggests OmniGraffle.
Might you try Skitch by Plasq?
It might be somewhat what you are looking for.
This is sort of like LEGO and its Mindstorms RCX's. I have version 2.0 right now, and Lego isn't really supporting it right now-the newest one just came out (Mindstorms NXT). Yet it only came out SIX YEARS AGO! I feel a version of your pain.
I am quit happy with Omni solutions. For wordprocessing and spread I'm using google docs.
Tried Inkscape?
