afmintz@rodan.acs.syr.edu (Allan Mintz) (05/29/90)

Does any know if someone has written a routine in Turbo C which will read
Lotus worksheet files?  If not does anyone know how to go about writing
such a routine?  Any and all help is appreciated thanks.

I had to write a program read various Lotus file formats once.  I found the
book "Lotus File Formats for 1-2-3 Symphony & Jazz" to be very helpful.  It
is published by Lotus itself so has a good chance of being fairly accurate.
The address in the book is

A friend of mine recently wrote a utility to read Lotus worksheets by
using Raima's WKS Library.  It is for C, and lists for c. $200.
