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.
