Please help if you can. I need the details of the DIF and SYLK file formats as background material for a book that I'm writing. If you know of a relatively easily obtainable reference for one or both, please let me know as soon as possible. Arg - help - I'm running up against an October 1 deadline!!!! Thanks in advance.

A description of the DIF and SYLK formats can be found in File Formats for
Popular PC Software -- A Programmer's Reference, by Jeff Walden, Wiley IBM PC
Series, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., ISBN 0-471-83671-0.
The same book contains file format descriptions for Lotus 1-2-3, Symphony,

VisiCalc, and WordStar.
