   I'm writing a program in Pascal and I'd like it to be able to read data
created in Lotus or Quattro.  To do this I need to learn how Lotus and
Quattro format their output files.  A quick look at the reference books and
the university library turned up nothing.  Can anyone steer me to a book or
FTPable file which explains such mysteries?  Thanks.

Here are two books about file formats.  I don't know whether they
cover Lotus and Quattro:

	File Format Handbook
	by Allan Taylor
	500pp, 	1992
	Slawson Communications, Inc.
	165 Vallecitos de Oro
	San Marcos, CA 92069-1436
	(800) 752-9766, (619) 744-2299
	(I don't suppose anyone wants the ISBN numbers and all that,
	but I've got 'em if someone does.)


	PC File Formats and Conversions
	by Kussman
	Abacus Press
	(That's all I know about this one.  I saw it at a local
	bookstore here in Chicago, Kroch's and Brentano's.)
