IBM Works is an office suite for the IBM OS/2 operating system. It includes word processing, spreadsheet, database and PIM applications. Originally developed as Legato by IBM UK, it was later taken over by Footprint in Canada, also known as Footprint Works. IBM Works is included in the BonusPak with OS/2 Warp Version 3 (1994).
It is based on Common User Access and made a radical shift away from the Program Manager type interface that earlier versions of OS/2 shared with Windows 3.x or the application-oriented WIMP interface of the Apple Macintosh. The Workplace Shell was also used in OS/2 Warp 3 and Warp 4, and the OS/2-based operating systems eComStation and ArcaOS.
