What is a .WKI file?

The .WKI file extension is used for a type of file called a Lotus 2 Worksheet. This kind of file is like a big table or grid where information is organized into rows and columns, similar to what you might see in a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel. These .WKI files were specifically made by an older computer program called Lotus 1-2-3, version 2. Lotus 1-2-3 was a popular software back in the 1980s for doing calculations, making graphs, and managing data in a spreadsheet format. However, the version that created .WKI files is very old and not used anymore because the Lotus 1-2-3 program has been updated many times since then.

As for opening .WKI files, they were originally designed to be opened by the Lotus 1-2-3 program. But, it's important to know that IBM, the company that made Lotus 1-2-3, has stopped making or supporting this software. This means you can't get this program from the original maker anymore, making it difficult to open .WKI files in the way they were intended.

Since the software that was used to create and open .WKI files is discontinued, if you need to open a .WKI file, you might have to look for special file conversion tools online or software that specializes in opening older or less common file types. Some modern spreadsheet programs might be able to open it, but you may lose some formatting or data in the process because they're not fully compatible with the old Lotus 2 Worksheet format.
