I have some files prepared about 10/15 years ago with the old Lotus 123 spreadsheet programme.
Obviously I no longer have Lotus 123.
Does anyone know of a cheap (preferably free) application that will read these files? I don't need to be able to copy them or anything, simply access them so that I can read a couple of addresses.

Excel?
Can you open the files with Excel or perhaps Works or some other spreadsheet program which you do have?

It seems MS removed the option to use Lotus files from office 2007 onwards
if you have a copy of excel 2003 somewhere you can use that
otherwise google suggests some converters/viewers i.e. http://www.scalabium.com/fdv/
for further information we need to know the filetype - .123/.wk3/.wk4?
Libre Office
A program called Libre Office seems to open them just fine. This is a variation of Open Office so that program might also open them.
Both programs are free.

Good to know that OpenOffice/LibreOffice work fine with them - google results gave conflicting views
There is a free viewer here:

BUT it does not work on 64 bit OS
