MS Works v. 8.0 - can't open

[n9ejs]

A friend sends me e-mail attachments in MS Works v. 8.0. I have MS
Works For Windows 95 v. 7.0a and Open Office, but can't open them with
either program. What does it take to open them?

Find out the file extension and try here:

Thanks for the reply. The extension is .wps, and I couldn't find
any answer to my question at news://msnews.microsoft.com/
microsoft.public.works.win

That's the problem with Works - it uses formats that are incompatible
with anything else. IIRC, the latest versions of Works do not include
the actual MS Word program as they used to but rather the "Works Word
Processor". Ask your friend to save anything s/he sends to you in .rtf
format or even plain text if the contents are simple enough.
