#Microsoft #Multiplan is a spreadsheet application that was developed by Microsoft in the '80s. My latest blog post shows how to emulate this ancient spreadsheet format in #DOSBox-X.

It also discusses compatibility with modern software, and in particular @libreoffice #calc.

Mind blown🤯 - turns out that #LibreOffice #Calc can natively read some (but not all!) variants of the ancient #Microsoft #Multiplan file format.

Multiplan was a #spreadsheet application from the early/mid '80s that preceded #Excel. More info on the format in this excellent 2023 post by @Thorsted:

And Multiplan is still available here:

@jeff Its also a reminder of #Microsoft's long storied history with #Apple and the #Mac, from #Multiplan to graphical versions of #Word #Excel debuting first on Mac. Even #PowerPoint which was once a product of #Forethought was once Mac exclusive.
