Its scope widened beyond plain Works word-processing files: the recognized-format list includes Works word processing, spreadsheet, and database files, plus Microsoft Write, Word for DOS, Pocket Word, XYWrite, Lotus, Multiplan, and Quattro Pro variants. The SourceForge file archive shows libwps 0.1.2 published on 2007-12-13, the 0.2.0 line on 2010-11-16, the 0.3.0 line on 2014-05-23, and the 0.4.0 line on 2015-05-17. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The project was aimed at integration into office suites and document converters rather than direct end-user operation. Its wiki tells most people to wait for integration into LibreOffice, AbiWord, or Calligra, while offering console tools such as wps2html and wps2odt for users willing to build or script the converter path. Within the Document Liberation Project ecosystem, libwps fits the pattern of reverse-engineered import libraries that preserve access to documents created in proprietary office programs that no longer define mainstream exchange formats. ### Wie es verwendet wird Packagers ship libwps so office suites can import Works files and so command-line tools can convert or inspect old documents in bulk. The package is especially useful in migration, archival cleanup, and recovery of small-business or home-office documents created with Microsoft Works. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren libwps is package-nerd archaeology: Microsoft Works was common on consumer PCs, but its formats are awkward in modern workflows. A small library package can decide whether an old .wps or .wks file is readable without booting a vintage Windows environment. ### Zeitleiste - 2007-12-13: libwps 0.1.2 published on SourceForge. - 2010-11-16: libwps 0.2.0 published on SourceForge. -
