Hi, I know this thread is very old but this might be useful if people are still playing with things like this - I know I am. This is a DOS programme - things don't just install! The ARJ files are essentially a form of ZIP archive. Use 7-ZIP or similar and having created a directory (sorry; folder) called C:\SYM3 unzip everything into it (probably best to keep the Tutor stuff as a Tutor subfolder (put all Tutor stuff in it) double click Symphony.exe and off you go....have fun.

Did anyone ever figure out what is up with the missing INS23 file? Install doesn't work without this apparently...

There is now a free beta version of Lotus Symphony for Windows from IBM! (probably expires when the final version is out, ibm did not offer details on that)

It is a text processor like Word for windows. Simply, it is an old fashioned version.

Symphony was the Cadillac of office suites, but was so expensive that only very rich people and successful corporations could afford it. I got version 2.1 by picking dumpsters and upgraded to 2.2 with a download I found a few years ago on the net. It's a fabulous hunk of engineering.

Symphony was a DOS program that was loaded entirely into memory when started. Using ALT-F10 the user could switch between the various modes of the program, which include a spreadsheet very similar to 1-2-3, a word-processor, a communications program, a table based database, a charting program, and an outliner. The program allowed you to split the screen and view these "modules" side by side. It was at this point that the user would notice that changes made in one module were reflected in others in real-time, perhaps the package's most interesting feature.

Lotus Symphony was a mainstream office product developed from Lotus 1-2-3. 123 was just a spreadsheet, but Symphony contained WP, flat database, graphics and comms software, my=uch like Works today. It also had a programming /macro language in which I was a practictioner. Ah, the memories.

This archive appears to be missing an important file - INS23, and if you try to run it Symphony.cmp (which is created by the install process)

Lotus Symphony is a spreadsheet, database and word processor - similar to MS Works, but very much spreadsheet based.
