Convert WQ2 to SLK

The WQ2 file extension, used by Quattro Pro for DOS, stands for "Worksheet Quattro Pro 2". It represents a spreadsheet file containing data organized in rows and columns, including formulas and charts. Introduced in the early 1990s, WQ2 files replaced the earlier WQ1 format in Quattro Pro versions 5.0 and 5.5. Although no longer widely supported, these files can be opened with older versions of Quattro Pro or Microsoft Excel, or converted to more modern formats like XLS.

An SLK file, standing for Symbolic Link File, is a specialized file type used primarily in spreadsheet applications to facilitate data exchange. Originally introduced by Microsoft for its Multiplan spreadsheet program in the 1980s, the SLK format was later adopted by other spreadsheet software due to its simplicity and efficiency. These files are composed of ASCII text and include symbolic references to cells, allowing for easy parsing and manipulation of spreadsheet data. The primary use of SLK files is to enable seamless data transfer between different spreadsheet programs, ensuring compatibility and preserving the integrity of the data during exchange.
