I know a guy who is a top engineer (self-employed) who used Works (and apparently STILL uses it). That is a fly in the ointment, inferring that his decision-making ability is shaky. (Joerg has recently done a Linux install which he runs in a VM, so he isn't a complete lost cause.) 8-) Novell's go-oo.org is gratis and can import M$Works files, then convert them to M$Office formats and/or to OpenDocument Format (ODF). go-oo is cross-platform and is a fork of OpenOffice.org. OOo incorporates some stuff after go-oo has gotten it working (e.g. VBA macros). The Wiki link in my OP also lists a command line utility for converting (to ODF wrapper formats--which can be opened with OOo).
