This early Microsoft productivity suite combines several essential business and personal-computing tools in one integrated program, including:

• Word processing
• Spreadsheet and financial-management tools
• Database management
• Charting and illustration
• Calendar and file-management utilities
• Communications support

The package states that it contains 3.5-inch low-density 720K floppy disks and a coupon for alternate 5.25-inch disk formats.

Original retail package remains sealed in clear shrink wrap. The packaging has age and storage wear, including crushed and softened corners, creasing, scuffs, scratches, shrink-wrap openings and compression along the edges. The contents have not been inspected or tested due to the sealed packaging.

This is the MS-DOS edition rather than Works for Windows. Microsoft introduced Works 3.0 for DOS in 1992 as an integrated word-processing, spreadsheet, database and communications package.

A desirable display piece for a Microsoft, MS-DOS, vintage PC, 386/486-era software or sealed big-box computing collection.
