In Basilisk (OS 7.5.3) I can run:
- ClarisWorks 3
Word 5.1
FileMaker Pro 2
- FileMaker Pro 4
FileMaker Pro 2
AppleWorks 6
ClarisWorks 5
I can probably live without CW3 though the "this document was created by an earlier version of ClarisWorks, and will..." is irritating. However, Word 5.1 is the only Classic version I have (it runs fine in Basilisk, ran fine on my old PB Duo, PB3400, and in 9.2.2 on an Iceberg iBook). I've tried deleting preference files for Word, but nothing seems to cure the problem.
Edit: Today I found an 'abandonware' version of Word 5.1a. I installed it properly in SheepShaver and the installation was successful. However, launching it has the same result - it just hangs.
