[comp.windows.ms.programmer] DIF format description wanted

erik@abblund.se (Erik Sparre) (03/15/91)

I need a description of the DIF Data Interchange Format used by
by spreadsheets and databases.

Could someone explain it briefly or give any pointers to a more
formal description.

Thanks

Try "File Formats for Popular PC Software" (subtitled "A Programmer's
Reference"), by Jeff Walden.  Published by John Wiley & Sons.  The ISBN is
0-471-83671-0.  My copy dates from 1986.
