Lotus 1-2-3's original series of releases is where it has to start. I used it
for
several years at home and at work before adding WordPerfect (5.1 initially,
eventually 6.2) and NC. After discovering Quattro Pro 4.0 I switched, but kept
the
optional use of 1-2-3 style menus. I'm still using the last QPro for DOS version
5.6 (according to its README), under eComStation (OS/2 evolved) @132x43 text
mode
(800x600) using Radeon X600 in Core2Duo. I still have Paradox for DOS too,
4.02.
Before Warp 4 I was running them all several years in DesqView 386 with QEMM on
PC
DOS again after a few years with MS DOS 5 post-PC DOS 3.3. My eCS Core2Duo still
can boot PC DOS 2000 too.
