I used it every day on a Radio Shack/Tandy Model III running TRS-Dos.<br>
It worked very well.<br>
If I remember right, Lotus bought VisiCalc, then tried to sue everyone<br>
with a spreadsheet with a "look and feel" like it.<br>

I don't think Excel was better than other spreadsheets - Borland<br>
Quattro was nicer and available in text mode as well as Windows.<br>
Microsoft just bought out (or out advertised) all the<br>
