I can add that the spreadsheets are compatible in both directions.
About a year ago, someone posted a Lotus spreadsheet and I renamed
it and ran it under VIP.  Later, I took one of my VIP spreadsheets
and transported it to a PC running Lotus.  I got the same results.

The arithmetic gave the same results, but this was not intended to
be a detailed test of the arithmetic.  I hope this helps.
