Although Microsoft Office Excel has a large number of users, it is not the first spreadsheet software. Apple's visicalc and IBM's Lotus 1-2-3 are earlier than it. Surprisingly, lotus 1-2-3 has been revived recently. The developer named TAVIS Ormandy contributed to this achievement. it transplanted lotus 1-2-3 to [linux platform] for the first time( https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/linux123.html ) Note that it does not rely on the simulator, but on the native transport. It supports the x86 architecture and is now 100% available**

In order to get better effect under modern display, Ormandy also made special adaptation.
It is reported that lotus 1-2-3 is the first killer application of IBM PC. at that time, together with dBASE and WordPerfect, lotus 1-2-3 was known as the three necessary swordsmen for installation.
However, in the 1990s, after absorbing some concepts of lotus 1-2-3, Microsoft Excel relied on the graphical interface, and windows Lotus, which was acquired by IBM in 1995, never recovered.
IBM maintained lotus until 2013, but that was it.
