I tried to open them in Star Office, and As I recall the Works wp format was really just a simplified MS-Word 6 file (ie pre-Word97). You could also see if it is listed on wotsit.org Or get a new girlfriend.

Well what do I opent these up in? I tried to open them in Star Office, and unless I'm missing something, I can't seem to open them. I just have to look at the "text" and read what's not in mark up text. Does anybody have anything they can suggest to open and view these files. Maybe even edit them a little? tdh -- T.
