From the Mac Newsletter TIDBits:

**ClarisWorks Update** -- Claris's recent release of ClarisWorks
  4.0v2 fixes a number of problems and enables ClarisWorks 4 users
  to save files in ClarisWorks 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 format. According to
  the release notes the new version also adds support for drag &
  drop, speeds up some features, plus fixes problems with mail
  merging, rotating library images, and the Address List Assistant.
  The new version also comes with new RTF and WordPerfect 3.1
  filters. An updater that updates ClarisWorks 4 is available
  online; the updater has created some confusion over two details:

* The release notes say that the updater updates ClarisWorks
  4.0v1, but, as Claris later explained it, "ClarisWorks 4.0 and
  4.0v1 are one and the same. Sorry. We should have made Get Info
  report it that way." The updater should work fine on any copy of
  4.0, and it did work fine on my copy.

* The updater won't necessarily work unless you move the updater
  file into the same folder as the ClarisWorks application. A Claris
  representative said that a new version of the updater corrects
  this problem; this new version updater has not yet appeared on
  Info-Mac nor in Claris's software library. [TJE]
