A native Linux port of Lotus 1-2-3 Release 3, rebuilt from the original UNIX binaries to run directly in the terminal via ncurses. It preserves the classic keyboard-driven spreadsheet experience with multiple sheets, live-updating ASCII-art charts, and context-sensitive help.
Use cases
- run Lotus 1-2-3 natively on Linux
- use a spreadsheet in a terminal without a GUI
- open and edit legacy Lotus 1-2-3 worksheet files
- work with multiple spreadsheet sheets from the command line
- generate live-updating ASCII-art charts from spreadsheet data
- relive or study retro computing software
When to choose
- You want the authentic Lotus 1-2-3 experience on Linux without an emulator
- You work in a terminal-only or SSH environment and need a keyboard-driven spreadsheet
- You need to open or modify legacy Lotus 1-2-3 worksheets
- You are interested in retrocomputing or vintage UNIX software
When to avoid
- You need a modern GUI spreadsheet with xlsx compatibility and cloud collaboration
- You want a turnkey install - building requires original Lotus 1-2-3 for UNIX disk images and a coff-i386-enabled binutils
- You are uncomfortable with retro keyboard-driven menus and 1980s UI conventions
