I want to convert very old (but valuable) works 3.0 files
to word files. The Works 6.0 converter only works as far
back as 4.0. Any ideas

My installation of Word 97 will open Works 3.0 files. I think Word 97
was the last Word version that supported them.

My late solutions:

word2000= install converter pack from Office 2k Resource kit
(it's hold a works 3 converter a file like **works3***.*
that's is installed inside /programs/common
files/Microsoft Shared/TextConv)

word2002= copy converter file from a previous word2k installation with
Office 2k converter pack.
(Word2k2 give an advise as soon as you try to open a *.
wps file but just click yes
and that's all)

Hope this help
