If they were to dare put out malware, they would be clobbered by zillions of techies! I have downloaded many programs from that site with no problems but after downloading you could do a virus scan if you are paranoid. And yes, it is FREE.	Strommer (42)

Tom, over the years I have had friends send Works files to those of us on email lists and it always causes a problem since few people can open and use the files. That was simply my point, not that MSWorks is inferior to Word.	Strommer (42)

That was simply my point, not that MSWorks is inferior to Word. Yep I understand your point - and it is quite correct of course. But mainly if commercial applications are being considered. If I was still to write articles for the local newspapers I would use WORD. And to be perfectly honest I feel that very large numbers of people are now using WORD who would at one time been using MSWORKS. But even so I still reckon the number of people using WORKS will be more than those using WORD - if we consider private individuals. And then of course not all versions of WORD are compatible with each other. MSoft made sure people had to update every so often - whereas MSWORKS as far as my experience goes is compatible over all versions - I use v4.5 and agree with the writer who reckoned that is the best version. The real big advantage with WORKS I find is its very simple and effective spreadsheet and database functions. Particularly the database (OK its flat file - so what!!). Tom	Thomas01 (317)

I fully agree.I very often get friends forwarding documents to me so I can put it in to a format they can read.Open Office is the one in documents.Works only "works" for a few.	kjaada (253)
