We are creating an application that takes data records captured from
a remote terminal and converts this data into a format readable by
a data base or spread sheet program. Ideally we would like to provide
one of two formats: ASCII and LOTUS 1-2-3.
The ASCII format is easy enough to create and provide a method for the
user to "program" the actual output format. The LOTUS format is a little
tougher. So far I have been unable to track down the format of a LOTUS
WKS file.
I would appreciate if some kind soul could email me a definition of a
WKS file or how I might obtain a definition (e.g. reference books, etc).
Any information that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

File Formats for Popular PC Software, Jeff Walden, Wiley Press, $24.95. Op-Amp Books in Hollywood has it, and they take phone orders. 213-464-4322. I haven't really used this book, and have never looked at the 123 section, but it lists 123 on the cover, so I assume it has *some* info...

It's all there. This book is a *must* for anyone dealing with DOS applications like 123, Wordstar, Dbase, etc. -- {alberta,pyramid,uunet}!ncc!lyndon lyndon@Nexus.CA

Lotus sells one entitled "Lotus File Format", or something like it, to software developers. I have it, but not in front of me. It covers token formats for both Lotus 1-2-3 and Symphony. | Terry Lambert UUCP: ...{ decvax, ihnp4 } ...utah-cs!century!terry | | @ Century Software OR: ...utah-cs!uplherc!sp7040!obie!wsccs!terry | | SLC, Utah | | These opinions are not my companies, but if you find them | | useful, send a $20.00 donation to Brisbane Australia... | | 'Signatures; it's not how long you make them, it's how you make them long!' |
