I have included it here, with the kind permission of Lotus who now owns the copyright, for people to try themselves.
You can download it to your PC and run it under Windows or DOS. It is only 27,520 bytes long |

Thanks for the post. That site was interesting reading.
I downloaded VisiCalc and tinkered with it for a few minutes.
It's still surprisingly practical to use for simple spreadsheets and takes up hardly any drive space. Useful when running from a pen drive that's nearly full.
The .vc files are easy to edit in notepad.
