*** STANDARD LINE-EATER OFFERING ***
I am going to write an interface between an in-house database format and
Lotus 1-2-3 worksheets. In order to do this, I need to know how worksheets
are structured. Does anyone out there
1) know of a book or article that describes this format
(I have already scanned most of the zillion "how to"
1-2-3 books and found them to really untechnical)
2) know the format off-hand and could describe it to me,
or at least give me a clue or several how to go about
deriving this format
3) know how Lotus feels about such things? I have written
to them to ask how they feel about such things, and I
asked if they have compatible vendor's guide, but have
received no response.
1-2-3 is a trademark of the Lotus Development Corporation. Whoopee.
Thanks in advance for your time. If anyone has suggestions about a more
appropriate newsgroup to post to, I would appreciate that too.
