Ms Works is Microsfot Works, As most people refer Microsoft as MS, such in the case of MS-DOS, meaning, Microsoft DOS.
If you want to locate a version of Ms Works, you might want to try Ebay.com.
Otherewise, offering you MS Works is illegal, since it is a retail app, copyrighted by Microsoft.
Now, if there were another works program called Ms Works that was not a Microsoft prodcut, then you need to drop a website, so we can see what your talking about.
