<
tool, product> A
spreadsheet for
MS-DOS from {Lotus
Development Corporation}. It can be programmed using
"
macros" and comes with a separate program to produce graphs
and charts but this cannot be run at the same time as the
spreadsheet. It has keyboard-driven
pop-up menus as well as
one-key commands, making it fast to operate. Lotus 1-2-3
supported
EGA and later
VGA graphics. Early versions used
the
filename extension "
WK1".
Version: 4.
Lotus 1-2-3 has been the subject of several {user interface
copyright} court cases in the US.

1-2-3's successor,
Symphony, had simultaneous update of
spreadsheet, graph and
word processor windows.
