The original product was a text-based product for the Apple II. The Apple Macintosh and Windows versions were forked from ClarisWorks in 1998 by Apple. At the time, Apple was under a lot of pressure to have a direct alternative to Microsoft Office. There were serious concerns that. This utility is designed to fix AppleWorks documents that have become damaged when the documents are saved from AppleWorks 6 running on a Mac OS X 10.2.x client to an AppleShare or compatible file server. Damage to the file from any other source or circumstance cannot be repaired by this utility. Appleworks 6 is a rather old piece of software, with the last updates coming out nearly 11 years ago (in January 2004). Apple discontinued support for the software in 2007, around the time that.
Appleworks has been abandoned for many years (since 2007 according to Wikipedia).
I believe it is difficult impossible to run it on a modern Mac. You best option is to find a Mac of the correct era to run that app to convert them for use with new apps.
Another option is to use an OS that can run older PowerPC applications. That means Snow Leopard or earlier. Snow Leopard can run in a virtual machine but only if you have the server version of the OS (Apples end user licence dictates that). It is complex to setup but can work if you persist.
Appleworks App
Apple moved over to iWork, but personally I'd consider a different app, possible something like Word or one of the other free office suites. It really depends on what you are creating.
These forums have other possible options - depending on what file type you need to convert it may be possible to do without jumping through the hoops of run a VM or old Mac.
Also I'd suggest you consider troubleshooting the iMac - if that boots (via another OS or external disk) it may help you setup something to convert the files.
