*** STANDARD LINE-EATER OFFERING ***

I am going to write an interface between an in-house database format and
Lotus 1-2-3 worksheets.  In order to do this, I need to know how worksheets
are structured.  Does anyone out there

	1) know of a book or article that describes this format
	   (I have already scanned most of the zillion "how to"
	   1-2-3 books and found them to really untechnical)

	2) know the format off-hand and could describe it to me,
	   or at least give me a clue or several how to go about
           deriving this format

	3) know how Lotus feels about such things?  I have written
	   to them to ask how they feel about such things, and I
	   asked if they have compatible vendor's guide, but have
	   received no response.

1-2-3 is a trademark of the Lotus Development Corporation.  Whoopee.

Thanks in advance for your time.  If anyone has suggestions about a more
appropriate newsgroup to post to, I would appreciate that too.
