A few years ago I sold my bicycle
business and turned to shareware for
my livelihood. At first, my wife,
Lynne, and I focused on the
distribution end of the business.
Although we enjoyed and profited
from duplicating and mailing
thousands of disks, we felt like
going a step further. We wanted to
write shareware.

Our first shareware product was
BICYCLE TUNE-UP & REPAIR, a
pictures & text disk which teaches
bike repair. Since I couldn't find a
program to build the presentation, I
made my own rough drawing program
and a nice run-time presentation
program for it.

Then came another tutorial called
OXY-ACETYLENE WELDING, which teaches
all about gas welding from the very
beginning to advanced stuff like
welding aluminum.

for minor aches and pains ranging
from headache and toothache to
arthritis.

Soon, people were asking what
program we used to create these. So,
of course I polished it up, wrote
extensive instruction files, and
wrote BLACKBOARD. It was the first
to use ASCII-Vector-Graphics, the
technique with which we get so much
information on one disk! It also
allowed a combination of text,
graphics, sound effects and music
all in one presentation. However, it
was limited to the CGA-monochrome
graphics mode. The next version was
"ANOTHER PROGRAM" which was for
16-color VGA presentations. Soon
after that, ANOTHER PROGRAM version
2.0 was born, which works in all
standard graphics modes through
256-color VGA.

Now it is called THE MULTIMEDIA
WORKSHOP, which is the newest
version of ANOTHER PROGRAM. It has
so many more features, such as 10
fonts, scalable both vertically and
horizontally, .PCX file import, text
import, and much, much more. And
