- 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.
