Having had the chance to check out both the above add-ons to Appleworks I vote
strongly for Autoworks.  However, ther's a new kid on the block...Key Player 
from those wonderful folks who brought you Pinpoint.  It's another add-on 
feature for use with Pinpoint (neither Auto- nor Macro-works are compatible
with Pinpoint).  I'll be seeing a demo of this later this weekend, but I'm told
it works almost identically to Autoworks.

The 'two guys' who left Beagle Bros are Alan Bird and Glen Bredon.  Bredon also
publishes PROSEL which is a program selector for Prodos that is tailored for
hard disks or other large storage devices (ie 800K drives).  It comes packed
with other goodies as well (such as a great disk/volume recovery utility).

Lastly, for those of you thinking of or already upgraded to Appleworks 2.0,
Don Lancaster has written of some significant bugs in the version currently in
distribution.  He advises NOT to upgrade!!!  Wait until Apple gets their act
together and fixes the program.
