read ".slk" file

Dear Rxperts..

I recently received a data file with the extension ".slk". If I save the
file as MS Excel file, I am able to read in R without issues.  Is it
possible to read this ".slk" file without converting into another
R-readable data format?

Reading this I wondered if you could use sep=";" with read.* functions.

That is NOT going to give you a neat dataframe, but you didn't make your goals very clear so it seems possible that you might get what you needed from some selected input lines.
