[dba-Tech] Microsoft Works

Hmmm...

I did a quick check and both the old copies of Works I have in the archives
were version 3.x. I have a customer who probably has an older version
though. She still uses DOS.

Otherwise you may be able to download a copy of the net somewhere. I've
downloaded VisiCalc and Windows 1.0 just out of a momentary nostalgic
interest :o)

Problem is MS dropped support for conversion *after* ver 2.0 which is over
10 years old.  Since it was a '98 machine, I'd guess that the files are ver
4.0 or ver 4.5.

Microsoft's  solution for Works 3.0 and above is :
   "Save it in Works as an Excel file"  :-(
