Convert WK1 to DBF

The WK1 file extension, short for Lotus Worksheet, was used by the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet software developed by Lotus Development Corporation and later acquired by IBM. These files stored data in a tabular format with cells organized by rows and columns, enabling users to perform data analysis and compute formulas efficiently. Although Lotus 1-2-3 has been discontinued, WK1 files can still be opened by some versions of Microsoft Excel and other compatible software like OpenOffice Calc. However, support for WK1 files was dropped in Excel 2007 and later versions.

The DBF file extension, standing for Database File, is a widely recognized format used primarily for database management. Originating from the dBASE database management system in the early 1980s, DBF files store structured data in tabular form, facilitating efficient data retrieval and manipulation. This format gained popularity due to its compatibility with various database applications and programming languages, making it a standard choice for data storage and interchange in the professional IT environment. The DBF format remains relevant for legacy systems and applications requiring reliable data organization and accessibility.
