SmartSuite applications require driver support for Universal Scrolling which is not provided in the latest Windows 10 IntelliPoint driver. The Microsoft IntelliPoint mouse scrolling wheel does not work in SmartSuite.
#LOTUS SYMPHONY COMPATIBILITY FOR WINDOWS 10#
Non-Microsoft workarounds to provide WinHlp support for Windows 10 are available).Ĥ. This also prevents Help files from other old Windows applications from running. This is due to (current) lack of support for WinHlp in Windows 10.

(I don’t know enough about Windows 10 Pro file and folder permissions to solve this!)ģ. I run all the above as Administrator which got round strange file protection/’file in use’ issues with existing data files. As others have reported, Autorun does not work – I had to manually run setup.exe.Ģ. I found the following minor issues which I can live with, given that I can continue to use the above SmartSuite applications!ġ.

To driven by their own agenda.Īlso surely IBM could give this as a project to some intern, or allow some 3rd party to give us a solution.

Why Microsoft thinks its okay to unilaterally make our software obsolete is beyond me. I will also be looking for some get-around solution, which will allow me to load organizer in spite of the incompetence of Windows 10.
#LOTUS SYMPHONY COMPATIBILITY UPGRADE#
Then, when offered the free Windows 10 upgrade, I'll upgrade back to 10 and I should be okay. So, I'm going to reload a version of Windows 7 that I own on that new computer. When I recently purchased a new computer, with Windows 10 already installed and then try to load my Smart Suite, I couldn't get it to load something about not enough disk space. I found that when I ungraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or 8, with Organizer already installed, it worked as before. Interestingly, while opening any of these applications it's clear that anyone familiar with modern desktop software will see that actual functionality available today isn't that far advanced from what we had all those years ago with these leading applications from the Lotus Development Corporation software portfolio.įarewell, old friends, I thank you for your many years of service.Ī quiet farewell Lotus 1-2-3, Organizer and Smartsuite Even features like "calendar overlays" and group calendars had their roots back in Organizer, a personal favourite feature of mine was the "Include" option, that enabled one to see the "tabs" from any colleague within your own Organizer folio. Over 20 years ago Organizer introduced most of the functionality required for effective personal and group co-ordination, along with tight integration into one's contact list it was possible to do anything, from planning a call, to making a call, and then recording it back into the event. Then there was Organizer, the PC based Planner and Contact manager that defined what Personal Information Mangement (PIM) was all about. The Side-bar in OpenOffice 4.* is the most visible indicator of IBM's contributions included from the Symphony code-base.Īlthough the retired software products will still work (and will continue to do so as long as the operating systems for which they were designed are still available) it was with a wistful grin that I remembered back to when I first started using PC's, when almost everyone of my vintage at one time was familiar with the "/" (slash) menus from 1-2-3, the spreadsheet that really proved the power of the PC in the workplace and began the PC revolution. In the intervening years, IBM had forked it's own version of OpenOffice to create Lotus Symphony, before making a significant donation back to the Apache Foundation of the code behind it. Many would already have been aware that - in reality - none of these products had received any significant updates for over a decade, so the announcement made last year was merely a formal indication that their time really was up, and customers using these products should move on. WFS means that a product will no longer receive any updates, nor will customers be able to request assistance for these products. WFM is the term used to signify that a product will no longer be available for purchase by customers. This - of course - followed on from the announcement that these iconic products would be withdrawn from marketing effective the 11th of June, 2013. A quiet farewell Lotus 1-2-3, Organizer and Smartsuite Mat Newman Octo15:33:21Last week a fairly significant date passed without much fanfare: The Withdrawal From Support (WFS) for some of the best desktop software ever created in Lotus 1-2-3, Lotus Organizer and the Lotus Smartsuite office package.
