There are plenty of groupware tools that run on microcomputers -
although it depends on what you mean by groupware.

I am writing this on a computer conferencing system called Telepathy.
It runs on our LAN, with 50 staff and students using it. In addition
to local conferencing, it drives communications scripts to exchange
messages with commercial conferencing systems (CIX, BIX, Compuserve,
Greennet/Econet, Usenet). Richer organisations use Lotus Notes to
share information and ideas among workgroups.

There are many commercial and shareware shared diary applications
that run on LANs - and there are a few shared editing tools. And of
course many email programs.

Help desk software (perhaps the earliest workflow information
systems) is often implemented on PC networks, such as HEAT (which was
commissioned to meet the working practices and needs of the major US
help desk operators).

I don't know of any groupware construction kits for PCs or Macs, but
would like to hear of any.
