DCS at a glance
DCS
Convert to DCS when preserving or recovering original Kodak Digital Camera System captures.

LWP at a glance
LWP
Convert to LWP when maintaining compatibility with Lotus-era document archives or when an inherited repository still depends on Word Pro files.
In most modern contexts the practical task is to open, preserve, or migrate LWP documents into DOCX, ODT, or PDF.
Use LWP only when the surrounding workflow truly still depends on it.
