Symphony
<tool, product> Lotus Development's successor to their Lotus 1-2-3
spreadsheet. Unlike 1-2-3, Symphony allowed a limited form of multitasking. The
user could switch manually between it and MS-DOS and separate graph and
spreadsheet windows could be opened simultaneously and would be updated
automatically when cells were changed. In addition, a small word processor could
be opened in a third window. These all could be printed out on the same report.
Symphony could read and write Lotus 1-2-3 files and had interactive graphical
output and a word processor, thus making it effectively a report generator.
Unlike 1-2-3, Symphony was not a great commercial success.
