Many times I have read the same question:
Where is my AppleWorks installer?
This is asked by users who received AppleWorks with their "consumer" machine: iMac, eMac or iBook.
The responce is: it is on one of the restore CDs (DVD) delivered with the machine.
Technical explanations about the way to use them are available in a technote that you may get here:

On some CDs, the useful files are stored in hidden folders. Put your hand on one tool allowing to make such hidden folder visible and you will be able to get the wanted installer.
One of these tools is the free application named "TinkerTool" available from:

Gene van Troyer offered a neat tip for CD/DVD delivered since the end of 2002.
On these medias, AppleWorks is stored in a .dmg file.

] use the Finder's search function, set for visible and invisible, to look for AppleWorks on the installer DVD. Once it is found, drag the .dmg icon from the search window to the desktop, then double click it. It should mount, and you can copy the AW files to the Applications folder.
