Having sample documents is always the first step needed to create/improve a
filter...

The DOS versions, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quattro_Pro. I added
support 
for it in libwps because its format is quite similar to .wks, .wk1, ..., and
because LibreOffice did not open them.

I suppose that this will happens in some near future ; ie. this seems a logical
thing to do (at least while the formats remain some binary format), we only
needed
to find more developers to do that...

Principally because of lack of developers(so the main priority was to retrieve
the spreadsheet's data); but having more sample documents is  always useful...
