I've recently become aware that most FLOSS office suites don't in fact have MS 
Works file format coverage, any more than MS Office does.

I'm considering doing something about it - MS Works was the low-end office 
suite before OpenOffice.org became popular; as far as Microsoft is concerned, 
MS Works is dead, for all intents and purposes, and if you don't believe me, 
ask Monty Python.

Which means that most MS Works SOHO users are left out in the cold.  I've got 
a fair amount of stuff that I can get into MS Works, and get out in MS Works 
file format; I've got the time, and I've got the inclination.  I've even got 
Pat Villani's Win32 API book, which has taught me more about 
reverse-engineering than I previously knew.

Does anyone have superannuated MS Works cds I can have (at whatever 
rock-bottom, never-before-repeated and never-to-be-repeated prices! ;) ?

Thanks
