[net.micro] lotus header message

jcobie@ssc-bee.UUCP (John C Oberholtzer) (04/08/85)

Does anybody know how to unpack the header information used in
Lotus 1,2,3 files. It must have all the data to redisplay the
file. Please send any information you may have. 
                   Thanks for any help.
Will also respond to anyone who wants this information..

                                  John

Lotus publishes a booklet describing their file formats.  I believe
the cost is $10.  A programmer here at MACC has the book, but he
will be on vacation for 2 more weeks.  If no one publishes
anything else about it *AND* the book isn't covered in warning
messages, I'll publish a summary of the header.  
	I'm told the book is about 20 pages.  I'll put a review out
describing what else you get.
	See you late April....
