Hi ,

 I am a newbie trying to understand excel file format
structure. Can anybody please clarify these questions
?
 
1) I read the excel documentation available in
"sc.openoffice.org". The Java BIFF viewer shows the
following structure as beginning of excel file.
However the document available in the above mentioned
site does not mention/have documentation for, the last
3 given( interfacehdr, mms and interfaceend) records .


[BOF RECORD]
[INTERFACEHDR]
[MMS]
[INTERFACEEND]

...
...

Where can I get the documentation for the last 3 given
? 


2) The docs say that the structure begins with "BOF
RECORD". (0x0809). Even the results of the Java BIFF
viewer show the same. However when I open a generated
excel file in a hex editor (fhred) I see that there is
something else in the first 511 bytes. Only after this
the structure begins. What is there in the first 511
bytes ?

Thanks
Geonosian
