Q: What spreadsheets are available?
From Software
For CP/M:
| Program | Description |
| VisiCalc | A standard at one point in time. |
| Multiplan | Microsoft's original spreadsheet program |
For DOS:
| Program | Description |
| Lotus 123 R1 | Most powerful. Some modern PC spreadsheets can load these old ones w/o any problems. |
| Lotus 123 R2 | Similar to R1. Could take advantage of the 8087 math coprocessor if present. |
| SuperCalc | Shipped with Borland Turbo Pascal. Under- powered. Operates like 123. |
If you have trouble trying to load Lotus 123 Release 1 files into your modern spreadsheets (ex. MS Excel), first get a program called As-Easy-As, a shareware spreadsheet for IBM MS-DOS, load the R1 file, and resave in Lotus 123 Release 2 format. Most spreadsheets can read this file type.
