Information about Lotus 1-2-3
-----------------------------
Lotus123 comes with 2 cartridges and 3 floppy disks. None of the disks are bootable, so a pcdos boot disk has been
included. Since the computer only has one floppy, you need to use Mame's File Manager to switch disks as needed.
Please note that most actions take quite a while to happen.
Start the emulation with >mame64 ibmpcjr lotus123
Wait for the floppy to boot, and answer the questions about date and time. The carts add 3 new internal commands:
* TUTOR - to use the tutorial, select the Tutorial disk, then type in TUTOR. After a while it will start up.
* 123 - this is the direct way to use the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program. To quit, press /QY .
* LOTUS - this starts a menu where you can select various utilities.
The lotus utilities:
1-2-3 - you need to select the Help and Utility disk, then choose this option.
File-Manager - select whatever disk you want to manage, then choose this option.
PrintGraph - this option doesn't work because the menu thinks that there's not enough memory.
Translate - this option doesn't work because the menu thinks that there's not enough memory.
Exit - back to DOS.
Printgraph and Translate can be run from DOS.
- To run PrintGraph, select the Printgraph disk, then type GRAPH.
- To run Translate (a file conversion program), insert the Help and Utility disk, then type TRANSLAT.
