For the .wps docs a Google search found this:
<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.wordmax.org/_wps_to__doc_conversion-2403671-4095-a.html";>http://www.wordmax.org/_wps_to__doc_conversion-2403671-4095-a.html</a>   (second
hit).

Trust Google.  Google is your friend.  Google knows all (even when the
original posters try to change history).

Good Luck,

Greg

Subject: [ale] WPS Format documents


Hey all,

	My wife and son's WinXP laptop will not boot into WinXP at all - not even
in
safe mode. It is seriously hosed. It's a dual-boot laptop, and can start up
in SuSE 9.1 Pro with no problems. I can read the WinXP NTFS partition. I've
saved some critical docs to an external drive. Problem is, I can't read
them.
KWord doesn't know how to handle .wps. OpenOffice can't open them properly.
I
tried on my W2K office laptop, and Word2K can't open the WPS documents. Any
recommendations? I think it's Microsoft Works format.

	If I could figure out how to open and edit the documents, I'd just leave
WinXP busted and stick with SuSE 9.1 (provided I could get wireless
working).

	Alternatively - and I know this is off-topic - does anyone know how to
restore a WinXP OEM system that was not shipped with Emergency start-up CDs
or any software on CD at all? I'd hate to go buy that software when there is
a better alternative already working on the laptop (except for Linksys WP54G
wireless).
