The 1990s files I wish I could open reliably, though, aren’t the WP ones—LibreOffice does more-or-less OK with those—but the QuattroPro spreadsheets.

OMG back in college (1997) I learned word processing on wordperfect (and spreadsheets on quattropro). Then those programs became the betamax to Microsoft's vhs. Still not over it and I'm glad I'm not alone in that.

I loved WordPerfect and QuattroPro—so easy to produce beautiful graphs in the 90’s with QP.

But that was about the time when their lab got their first PCs, first with a BW monitor. They smelled funny, ran Digger, IBM Cat, Fortran, and a text-based spreadsheet called QuattroPro. My 2nd and 3d languages after BASIC were Fortran and QuattroPro macros, but I don't show them on my resume :)

Quattropro is available as a standalone app or in a bundle. They also have a trial that might be enough to open and convert files.

Quattro Pro: il foglio di calcolo che sfidò Lotus 1-2-3
Nel mondo DOS, Lotus 1-2-3 era il re.

They are not plain text... I've managed to dig around and find they are ancient spreadsheets*, one was even a Ashton Tate dBase II file and, I think, WordPerfect ... but yet appending .txt makes them readable. Thanks.
So far I found PlanPerfect! QuattroPro and Lotus 123. A nostalgia party.

Let me be perfectly clear; I am no Microsoft fan! I *far* preferred SuperCalc and QuattroPro to Excel. Being the monopolists they are, Microsoft forcibly took over the market.
I'm advanced in years, but *not* late in life. In fact in some ways I'm more into life now than I was when I was younger.
