Convert WDB to DIF

The WDB file extension stands for Microsoft Works Database. It is used for database files created by Microsoft Works, an office suite that was popular in the 1990s. These files are similar to Microsoft Access's MDB files but have more limitations and are not natively supported by modern Microsoft Office versions. WDB files store data in a proprietary format, making them less efficient compared to MDB files. Due to the discontinuation of Microsoft Works, opening WDB files now requires alternative methods, such as using older versions of Microsoft Word, converting them to Excel format, or using third-party tools like CodeAlchemists Works Database Converter.

The Data Interchange Format (DIF) file extension is a standardized format used primarily for importing and exporting spreadsheet data between different software applications. Originating in the 1980s, DIF was developed by Software Arts for their pioneering spreadsheet program, VisiCalc. Despite its age, DIF remains relevant due to its simplicity and ease of implementation, facilitating interoperability among various data processing tools. Its structured, plain text nature makes it particularly suitable for transferring tabular data while maintaining data integrity across different platforms.
