Importing calendar data from MSW works tsv file to visa calendar

I have 11 years of calendar information in MSWorks calendar. There are 3
export options for the file. None will import into the vista calendar and
the MSWorks calendar will not run in vista-- what gives?

Isn't Works 9 Vista-compatible?

I'm trying to use Windows calendar that came with the new machine.

In Works Calendar, export your calendar to icalendar (.ics) format.
You can import this into Windows Calendar.

..isa format is not available. choices are vcalendar -- .tsv, html, or tab
delimiter

I looked at an exported vista windows calendar file today. Think a program
will have to be written to make the conversion. Will probally abandon Vista
calendar.

If you do go back to Works, I'm using version 8.5 in Vista with no problems.
