I have a number of files from 20+ years ago that I'd like to recover that were written in a long-gone word processor, Borland's Sprint. But they just aren't important enough to put any real effort in to extracting anything from them. ...There were TWO of us using Borland's Sprint. WOW!
Yep! In fact, I used Quattro before it became Quattro Pro. Quite liked that spreadsheet. The main reason why I bought them was I couldn't afford Word Perfect, MS Word, or 1-2-3! I did cough up the bucks for FoxPro: that was definitely a worthwhile investment.
It broke my heart when Borland went 'enterprise' and pretty much disappeared from the face of the earth. Quattro Pro and Paradox are still around, but both have incredibly small market share.
I used Quattro and Quattro Pro as well. One company I worked for used 123 in the office, particularly Accounting, but I installed my copy of Quattro Pro on my PC used it as an interface between Accounting and the minicomputer application that basically ran the company. There were numerous GL entries that were generated outside the system that needed to be entered and the Accounting department got tired of the manual entries.
