Lotus 123 to excel software#

I call it 'SNAP', for 'SUPER NATURAL APPLICATION PROGRAMMING'.Дў) Lotus 123's macro language was never really promoted by Lotus Corporation, and therefore it did not get picked up by the EDUCATION SYSTEM, as did VISUAL BASIC. I decided a couple of years back to give this WONDERFUL programming language a 'fitting' name.

Therefore, by 'default', it acquired the name 'macros' - which is a term also used by other software programs where it meant only SIMPLE procedures. Reasons why the 'old macro' language never really caught on.ДЎ) It was never given a NAME. I still watch as 'trained programmers' (graduates) STRUGGLE to create applications which I created in ONE-TENTH the time using the 'old macro' language of Lotus 123 version 5.0. It did way back in the early 1990's and it STILL does today. This 'combination' of 'POWER' and 'EASE-OF-USE' simply blows the competition away. I say this is unfortunate because the 'old macros' which came with Lotus 123 version 5.0 (a Windows version of Lotus 123) were TREMENDOUSLY POWERFUL AND EASY-TO-USE. Microsoft (unfortunately) wants everyone to make the switch to Visual Basic.

My experience is that the later versions of Excel do NOT support the conversion of Lotus 'macros'. But the version of Lotus goes WAY BACK - to about version 2.2 - which is still in the 'DOS' world. My recollection tells me that the earlier versions of Excel provided support for conversion of the early versions of Lotus 123 macros.
