Happy Lotus 1-2-3 Day!!!
Lotus was the first spreadsheet program I used in DOS, and later updated to the Windows version (in Windows 3.1). I still use it to track my eyepieces for my telescope!

The hard won results are in text files. Can I read them into Lotus 123 (for analysis), or do I have to convert them into *.wk[12] files beforehand?

Yesterday all I felt was tired.
But suddenly I'm re-inspired.

Back in 2014, I got my old #AppleII disks running on my legacy 1993 Mac Color Classic. It was a beautiful sight. ❤
But nowadays we can just run Apple II and #Commodore64 software like any other OS, in a virtual machine on whatever irrelevant hardware we own.
So there's no excuse now for any of us to use Microsoft Excel, when we can use perfectly good Quattro Pro, #VisiCalc, or #Lotus123!

69 followers · 15 posts · Server infosec.exchangeHello 👋 I don't belong here, but I am smart and I know that this is the best, safest place to be. By way of an #introduction, I started my working career as an IBM #keypunch operator, then moved to #Lotus123 in the early 1980's. Now, I am a #cognitive scientist #researcher who didn't expect to have to learn how to #code to produce #data, and have become very interested in #cybersecurity. I have degrees in biology, science and psychological science, but I am an analyst, not a psychologist. I am nerdy about #climate #science, #renewable #technologies, #evolutionary #biology, #cognitive #psychology, #neuroscience, #ASD, #geopolitics, the natural #environment and #dogs ❤️ Ask me about any of the above and I will be delighted. If I don't know I will look into it 😊

Порт выполнен на основе переработки исполняемых файлов для UNIX, найденный в архиве с варезом на одной из BBS.

Decided to try do some work on Lotus 1-2-3 4.x for DOS, installing it on my FreeDOS 1.3 partition. Surprised to see it aged acceptably well. Quite featured in spite of its age. Courtesy of WinWorldPC #lotus123 #spreadsheet #dos #freedos #ibm #thinkpad #retrocomputing
