Does anyone have a manual for Works? Mine flew the coupe, and it's been over ten years since I've used it. I specifically need to know how to use Organize!. I really need help!

Is that the same as Micro Systems Software's 'The Works'? I have a Platinum edition. The manual is huge - like 3" thick. Covers 5 different software apps for the Miggy and its manual has a beautiful hardcover with removable three ring binder. Looks to be an extremely high quality bundle.

Yeah, this thing doesn't mention any of the names you did. Just refers to each program as a 'module'. Hmm... you're not having luck getting anything to boot or what? The program I have mentions it requires 512kb, but maybe yours requires a meg...

Sounds more like the POS editor that came with AmigaOS1.x (I still have trouble remembering those goofy commands and keypresses)  lol  

Where are the drop down menus and such?  Function keys don't perform?  I'd ditch that POS software and get something more friendly. Which is what the Amiga was always supposed to be about  :)    Even some of the half-assed Amiga specific Databases were DBase III compatible.

'The Works' as previously mentioned. Softwood's Final Calc will run under 1.3 with limited functionality compared to 2.x+. And then there's a program called Pen Pal that has a Database module too as well as a nice word processor/DTP program.

Superbase Personal is another 1.3 friendly Database program.
