I chose the name Aeolus, the ancient Greek lesser god of the four
winds (to direct the Clipper ships!).
Hello, my name is Mark Kania and I have been a computer consultant
in St. Paul/Minneapolis since 1989. Most of my work has been in
Clipper and over several years I developed a powerful set of functions.
These functions were developed for business applications while developing
business applications in the field--not by some 'expert' who doesn't
deal with the business world anymore.
After creating a library of routines I was satisfied with, I found I
was no longer spending much time debugging, however, I was spending
most of my time positioning text and data on screens. Even though I
had other applications to clone from, I still spent enormous amounts
of time and effort to get screens just right.
So I decided to write Builder to save some time and effort. After
completing the first pieces of Builder I felt I was on to something.
A little over a year later I applied and was accepted as a member of
The Association of Shareware Professionals.
A software company is born.
