SYLK
<file format> (SYLK) A {Microsoft} file format for
{spreadsheets}, (not to be confused with {symbolic link}).
SYLK format existed in one form or another in as early as
1987, and was part of {Excel} v1.0. It is is an outgrowth of
{VisiCalc} {DIF} file format.
SYLK format is ascii text and represents information about
both formula, value, and some formatting information, which
makes it something like an {RTF} for spreadsheets. It is used
as a general tabular data exchange format.
