    We are creating an application that takes data records captured from
    a remote terminal and converts this data into a format readable by
    a data base or spread sheet program.  Ideally we would like to provide
    one of two formats: ASCII and LOTUS 1-2-3.

    The ASCII format is easy enough to create and provide a method for the
    user to "program" the actual output format.  The LOTUS format is a little
    tougher.  So far I have been unable to track down the format of a LOTUS
    WKS file.

    I would appreciate if some kind soul could email me a definition of a
    WKS file or how I might obtain a definition (e.g. reference books, etc).

    Any information that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
