Wow, that's a "blast from the past."  I remember preparing financial
statements using Symphony, once upon a time.  Back then were the days
of MS-DOS, and Symphony had the oddity that it implemented everything
atop the common "spreadsheet substrate."

For instance, word processing was implemented via having each line be
a spreadsheet cell; justification and such would lead to words getting
shoved from cell to cell, so that it was startlingly slow...

I'll bet it is different now - it was definitely wacky back then!
