|
I was reading a blog which mentioned libwps which imports MS Works files. Apparently it's a part of or somehow associated with libwpd (which imports wordperfect files).
Does Neo have this built in? |

Right now there is no integration of this product into Neo/OOo of which I'm aware. I also honestly don't know if the old Mac Works used the same format as Win Works. I do know, however, that some friends who still have Win98 from time to time send me works files which does tick me off

looking through that page they are waiting for people to donate Mac Works reference documents from the different versions
and they have a some big tables of versions and things implemented.
libwps notes
although to be frank, I've only had one windows wps sent to me in my working life and no Mac ones. I'm guessing this will be mainly used by people upgrading and migrating. |

Anyone who sends Win98 files shouldn't be called a friend!  |
