I love your pages, they are really great, especially the one about reverse engineering the display driver to discover that 1-2-3 actually supports better display resolutions.
I've been running the DOS version in DosBox-X for Mac at the moment to ground l123 in the reality of what using 1-2-3 was like. I'm using Release 3.4a, which was the last version that didn't go full GUI (R4 for DOS was kind of a Windows-light version). I'm trying to balance fidelity to the original with something that might be useful to actually do some productive work in, especially when one might not need or want the full GUI/overhead of Excel or (shudder) Google Sheets.
