Well, thats after another swidish law I heard of which do not allow the mentioning of people's names in sites without their permission, and the religious law that some rabi once wrote to his followers, that they may not pick their nose in saterday, as it is concidered to be "working". sigh Or Botton [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Truth is stranger than fiction, because fiction has to make sense." - http://members.xoom.com/dsdp/ To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.

Re: [SURVPC] converting msworks database file
I haven't used Works since 89 or something like that so I don't know how Snip! But why not get a copy of your colleagues M$Works? That should be the easiest soluttion for everyone (but not the most legal). Hm.. you just said you didnt used it since 89, which means its an over 10 years old program. Wouldnt that make MSWorks an abandonware by now?.. Probably, but I just keep it around in case I want to install my (also original) M$ Works 3.0 for Windows upgrade. Funny, most of the programs I use aren't illegally copied. Shareware/PD and the few that my father has got from his work are working great. (The (M$) licenses from my fathers work makes it possible for me to use any of the programs that he has there on my own computer, but I have only the older versions that I've even been able to get original floppies and/or books for installed on my PC.) I still use the same M$-DOS that came with my first (own) PC 5 years ago. I even think that swedish law says that I can't save a file for more than 5 years or something equaly stupid ;) (Or atleast this was the case a few years back) //Bernie To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.

[SURVPC] converting msworks database file
A colleague gave me a copy of two database files, which he created in MSWorks for dos. We are both trying to use these files to keep track of our clients' activities. I do not have a copy of MSWorks for dos, and access will not recognize the file format. The only other database program I have is pcfile, which used the dbf format. Does anyone know how I can convert these files to access, or dbf format? Any help is appreciated. thanks To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message. Also, trim this footer from any quoted replies.

Does anyone know how I can convert these files to access, or dbf format? Do you know which version they where made for? I could copy the works.exe file for you for version 2.0 (I think) and that should work so you can atleast read the files I haven't used Works since 89 or something like that so I don't know how good it actually is, and how updated. But it might be worth a shot. (But it's in Swedish, so there might be some problem for you getting around in it.) Funny, there should be a convertor inside Access, perhaps you can look at the installation discs/CD? But why not get a copy of your colleagues M$Works?
