Lotus 1-2-3 For Linux

So, incidentally, having symbols makes it doable to use a decompiler to retrieve something resembling source code.

Just putting that thought out there.

If you have symbols and know the language (even better the exact version of the compiler) you can get almost the original source files “minus comments”.

This 1990 Computerworld article mentions that Lotus compiled all their Unix applications with gcc. Given the timeframe involved, this likely means early gcc 1.x and supporting tools
