Further to the story of this historic software it is
enlightening to
revisit Dan Bricklin's Web Site:
www.bricklin.com and Cringely to look at the
history of VisiCalc vs Lotus. Might be of
particular
interest for patents to see Bricklin's views:

Software

I have the windows version. It had one of the best file transfer tools of any
of them. So I could still read my Word Perfect files and Word-pro.
Is there any chance that IBM will release the source?
I have lot's of legacy documents, that would be nice to convert to an open
format.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I got it free on the cover of a magazine. Still have it, still use it. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I have four copies of OS/2 Warp in the original boxes. Got them while working at
IBM. If we got together we could probably come up with a working system.
