Oops (guess who's never owned a II+ -- and has a faulty memory).  It's
AppleWorks which needs the patches to run on a II+ (and possibly some other
applications need patches too).

Two other points about running //e software on a II+.  Recent //e software
often requires 128K (I don't know of any way to "fool" the software into
accepting RAM expansion cards available for the II+), and some //e software
requires an 'enhanced' //e (although some of those programs will work if a
65C02 is present AND you can install a 65C02 in a II+ <at modest expense>).
