System: Ubuntu 22.04 64b 123elf version: 199b81f400410d23b633ce00edd803bb4a327fd2 Terminal: Konsole (same issue with xterm)

I made a successful binary using the provided scripts and makefile, but executing it just returns a "123: Cannot initialize system file configuration" error. Trying to run it with gdb doesn't return any form of crash or error message, it terminates normally.

Maybe I skipped some configuration step, but the binary seems fine.

123 will start fine in a terminal window larger than 80x24. I normally run a 100x50 window and that is no problem at all. 100x80 also works well.

But when the window is larger, just slightly outside those dimensions, 123 fails on startup with the message "123: Memory full".

I'm not sure this can be changed, as we don't have the source code. But a note in the documentation would be helpful for those, like me, who run ridiculously large screens with ridiculously small fonts.

If the limit can be extended that would of course be even nicer. 123 runs perfectly fine in these larger terminal sizes otherwise.

Hi

I've tried to build on

# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Release:        20.04
Codename:       focal

First build binutils with --prefix=/home/user/opt --enable-targets=all And then

$ make

./ld: cannot find -lncurses: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Installing every ncurses* pkg with 32-bit versions didn't help

Even with LDLIBS = -lncurses -L/usr/lib32

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and managed to compile it, however it segfaults right after the initial popup showing license information.

When using gdb it jumps straight into the SIGSEGV.

I have tried to uncomment that syscall in redefine.lst but then it crashes on another call:

Any ideas?

"/System" is supposed to redirect to a command shell, useful for macros. However, the terminal would mess up. Symbol "symbol" is now overridden by the combination of termio and posix_spawn, which respect the original terminal configurations.

Close #15

Currently program doesn't start if not invoked from the code repo directory:

$ pwd
/
$ /tmp/123elf/123 -f unix -w "/tmp/123/root/lotus/123.v10/smpfiles/income.wk3"
123: can't access directory </proc/self/cwd/root/lotus/123.v10>, errno = 13
123: impossible d'acceder au repertoire </proc/self/cwd/root/lotus/123.v10>, erreur = 13

We should have a make install script that will, roughly:

• copy the binary into /usr/local/bin/123 (where user can change the /usr/local prefix)
• copy the man page into /usr/local/man/man1/123.1
• copy other needed files from root/lotus/ into e.g. /usr/local/share/lotus/, and the program should be able to find them there

It's hard to press some keys in some terminals, I've noticed F10 doesn't work in gnome-terminal.

I really need to figure out the keymap file format and make a utility that can edit it.

I think this is a slightly over-engineered file format that has a serialized n-ary tree of key sequences.

For example, PgUp might generate \e[6~ and → might generate \e[C

It could be stored like this:

                \e
                /\
               [  Escape
              /\
             6  C
            /\   \
           ~  ?  Right
           |
          PgUp

This way you navigate the tree to figure out what the user just pressed.

adds install target to be system wide Limitation observed:

1. lotus try to access some file when launching in the shared folder, it seems to only make the welcome screen stuck but haven't tested further (it also try to change the ownership of those files)
2. lotus have it's own terminfo library I've changed the launcher shim to overwrite the TERM to xterm since I was using st and lotus didn't have it.

Tried compiling with the official instructions on Arch Linux and get this error when I run ./123:

123: setup file </home/ironveil/.l123set> damaged, please run setup123

Not sure what went wrong, even after a fresh recompile it still persists. I can add any more information if needed

Is it possible to "push" some data to a running 1-2-3 session from an external binary? And refresh 1-2-3 automatically (i.e. view live data)

Check directories relative to the directory the executable is run from.

If runtime files dir is not found under ${exedir}/root/lotus, try searching in ${exedir}/../share/lotus.

This should help support system-wide installation and packaging.

'Ctrl-Z' Forces 123 Exit to terminal losing all data in worksheet

Hit Ctrl-Z to Undo, rather than Ctrl-F4. Kicks me out to terminal

[1]+ Stopped 123 -w ~"path to worksheet" "Terminal prompt $"

Trying to "Exit" displays "There are stopped jobs." "Prompt:~$ "

123 crash returns to terminal with "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" at command line.

Fault repeats reliably when macro allowed to run without interruption.

Macro STEP function avoided crash by delaying steps, and macro finished normally.

Macro STEP not visible at status line with 123.elf, so exact macro call that triggers fault is unknown

Function Disabled Break (Ctrl-F12) function wont interrupt macro STEP function F1 Help Function / Keyboard Index / Special Keys / Break F1 Help Function / Keyboard Index / View default keymap (Ctrl-F12) A few iterations of Break key (Ctrl-F12) should halt macro STEP in progress

Hello, many thanks for this project, which migrates Lotus 1-2-3 from Windows to Linux

Linux novice using (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) Release Candidate "lotus123r3_1.0-2jammy_i386.deb"

This runs my legacy 30yr. old 16bit DOS 123.v2 macro library natively on 64bit PopOS linux. Simply amazing

Minor hot key, macro syntax, & display changes mostly due to lotus-123 application change from v2 to v3.

Can't figure out why Macro code won't display during STEP function "Ctrl-F2". Getting panel results only.

Do Macros show their steps for anyone else?

I've been using this spreadsheet back and forth a bit now, and I wanted to install it on my more minimal chromebook. Sadly that doesn't work at all; or more correctly, installing works just fine, but running doesn't. It runs fine in urxvt on the same machine, but I prefer not to run X at all on it.

More specifically, all I get running it in fbterm is:

123: can't access directory </{LOTUSROOT}/keymaps/l>, errno = 2
