I started digging into this because that's basically the sort of person I am, and hit https://ibcs-us.sourceforge.io/ which implements iBCS2 in userland, including a COFF loader. In theory, with that you should be able to run the unmodified Lotus 1-2-3 binary, as long as you have the corresponding SVR3 or whatever userland available for it.

Since there are now native x86-32 binaries, I don't see much point.

But there was a native MS Word for Xenix. I installed that on several production systems. It offers easier file interchange with modern word processors, and it was a bit easier to use. Less powerful than WP 7, but also less arcane.

I'd love to see that running again.
