(I'll post this since it might be useful to others)
There is a book (I think actually a series of books) entitled "File Formats
for Popular PC Software" by Jeff Walden. The one I have in my hand
(ISBM 0 471-83671-0) includes descriptions of many file formats including
DIF (and also the Supercalc 3 and Super Data Interchange formats, which are
supposed supersets of DIF).
