They should see this as a "GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY" to recapture their fair share of the spreadsheet and application development market. The world DESPERATELY NEEDS A SPREADSHEET COMPILER, so WHAT is causing Lotus Corporation to remain in a "STAGNANT POSITION". The current owners of Visual BALER, to my knowledge, have done NOTHING to eliminate the "bugs", and the software seems to be "going nowhere". However, Visual BALER seems NOT to be attracting the attention that a BUG-FREE spreadsheet compiler would almost certainly attract. Smaller applications might not encounter such "bugs". A problem exists, however, in that Visual BALER has some "bugs" which can "surface" when developing "HEAVY-DUTY" applications. Visual BALER is basically the world's ONLY "spreadsheet compiler".

Visual BALER is a program designed to: a) enhance the "SNAP" language further, and b) to provide "stand-alone" windows applications. They need to purchase the rights to a "3rd Party" piece of software called "VISUAL BALER" (NOT to be confused with "Visual Basic"). They only need make a couple of IMPORTANT STEPS. Hopefully someday Lotus Corporation will "smarten up" and appreciate what a "GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY" STILL EXISTS. which is EXACTLY what one has to do if one wants to "get serious" with VISUAL BASIC - Microsoft Office's programming language. "SNAP" is truly a WONDERFULLY POWERFUL programming language, and would be useful for BOTH "CAREER PROGRAMMERS" as well as those who DON'T want to have to "DROP THEIR DAY-JOB" to become a CAREER PROGRAMMER. I call it "SNAP", for "SUPER NATURAL APPLICATION PROGRAMMING".Ģ) Lotus 123's macro language was never really promoted by Lotus Corporation, and therefore it did not get picked up by the EDUCATION SYSTEM, as did VISUAL BASIC. I decided a couple of years back to give this WONDERFUL programming language a "fitting" name. Therefore, by "default", it acquired the name "macros" - which is a term also used by other software programs where it meant only SIMPLE procedures. Reasons why the "old macro" language never really caught on.ġ) It was never given a NAME. I still watch as "trained programmers" (graduates) STRUGGLE to create applications which I created in ONE-TENTH the time using the "old macro" language of Lotus 123 version 5.0. It did way back in the early 1990's and it STILL does today.

This "combination" of "POWER" and "EASE-OF-USE" simply blows the competition away. I say this is unfortunate because the "old macros" which came with Lotus 123 version 5.0 (a Windows version of Lotus 123) were TREMENDOUSLY POWERFUL AND EASY-TO-USE.

Microsoft (unfortunately) wants everyone to make the switch to Visual Basic.

My experience is that the later versions of Excel do NOT support the conversion of Lotus "macros". But the version of Lotus goes WAY BACK - to about version 2.2 - which is still in the "DOS" world. My recollection tells me that the earlier versions of Excel provided support for conversion of the early versions of Lotus 123 macros.
