Is this a stand-alone works converter? I think that I've downloaded and installed this only to find that it's an add-in for Word.

"MSWorks files have a proprietary format which is being kept secret by Microsoft. However a reasonable workaround is to save your WKS files as RTF files. OpenOffice can read and write RTF files. However there is a Microsoft utility for converting the wks files : go to this Microsoft website and in section 1 for Product select Word and for Version select All Versions. Then in section 2 select Converters and Viewers and click on the Update List link. You should then have listed below a link for the relevant converter."
When I click on the link I go to a web site for downloads. I see no section 1 for product so
how do I find this section 1?

Microsoft keep changing their web site, but I have just checked these links and they worked: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=B9E11E83-F51B-4977-B572-8C042DF802C1&displaylang=EN or http://www.computerhope.com/download/updates.htm (bottom of the page).
Has anyone ever looked into how much effort would be involved in writing Works converters? For example is there any overlap with the Office formats? Have other projects written Works filters?
Thanks, Ian Laurenson
