saved A LOT of "works" data/can I get data into windows XP

[D. Hays]

Had windows 95. Entered a lot of data into "works".
Recently upgraded into new HP computer with Windows XP
which won't accept the "works" data that I have saved on
a floppy.
Is there any way to get that data into "Quattro Pro
10"?? Or am I going to need to buy and load "works"
program?? THANKS FOR RESPONSE

You have to buy a word processor program that has a "works" converter.

Don't assume that Office programs convert Works documents. Office
converts only a very few Works file formats. You can't even download
extra converters from MS -- you have to buy converters from
third-parties. I found this surprising, so that's why I mention it.
