Improv is a spreadsheet program that attempted to re-imagine how one would create and interact with spreadsheets. It was first released in 1991 for NeXT computers, and for a time became one of the NeXT's "Killer Apps". In 1993 Lotus released Improv 2.0 for Microsoft Windows. It was not marketed as a direct replacement to Lotus 1-2-3, and 1-2-3 remained dominant until both were overtaken by Microsoft Excel.
Improv 2.x requires: IBM PC or compatible (386SX or higher), including IBM PS/2 and Compaq. Windows compatible displays and printers. VGA resolution. MS Windows 3.1 or later.
Recommended configuration: 6+MB on 386/33MHz or higher (Minimum configuration: 4MB on 386/20MHz).
