Several years ago, I got two books, PC File Formats and More PC File Formats
that may be what you're looking for. I don't have either volume here at work,
but they may be listed in Books in Print (if they still are). I'm pretty 
sure I got both of them through a computer bookstore outside Boston named
SoftPro - 617-273-2919.

If you can't find 'em or the store can't help, email me and I'll try to 
find the books (they're still in boxes, after a move) and send ya the
publisher's info.
