Translate Format Information

Format information can include file attributes in the following categories:

  • Major format

  • File class

  • Minor format

  • Major version

  • Minor version

Not all categories are required. Many formats include only major format and file class, or major format only.

The format information has the following structure:

MajorFormat.FileClass.MinorFormat.MajorVersion.MinorVersion

For example:

294.2.0.9.0

Each number in the format information represents a file attribute. The entry 294.2.0.9.0 represents a Lotus 1-2-3 Spreadsheet file version 9.0, where

294 = Lotus 1-2-3 Spreadsheet (major format 294)

2 = Spreadsheet (file class)

0 = not defined (minor format)

9 = 9 (major version)

0 = 0 (minor version)
