    no-go!

    I have Lotus and it is a great application that basically lost the word processing wars to Microsoft's Word. Ironically, Lotus can read MS Word documents but Word cannot read Lotus documents. So you must either re-save all his Lotus docs as Word in the Lotus application, or you must install the application (Lotus) in the new comp.
