Ugh... I installed both Excel 2 and Lotus 123 v4. Both have this problem where if I input a number, they input weird stuff.I believe I'm suffering from floating point issues...

Which is weird since I'm using an i486DX2 which supposedly has an integrated FPU

@enigmatico been ages, I remember the Pentiums had it, and it was super obvious in Excel.I had a 386SX and later a 486DX2 and DX4, but I was running OS/2 at that point.

@tayledras Is there a way to work around this?

@enigmatico been a LONG LONG time since I last touched that. I've forgotten more than I remember.Now I run emulators when I want to run old MacOS System 7.5 games or play old DOS 5.22 - Windows 3.1 stuff.

@tayledras Nice. I'm using 86box, not sure if there is a version for Mac or if you could compile it on Mac.

@tayledras It could be a software/processor missmatch. I tried the same on a Pentium MMX on MS-DOS 6 and it does the same. Maybe it expects something like a 286 or 386 with a math co-processor and does weird stuff.However Excel 5 Works fine under Windows 3.11
