- 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.
-
- We hope to have a BBS up soon (fall of 1993) at the same number below,
- thank you for considering the Builder we feel it is one of the finest
- code generators on the market today, shareware or otherwise. we know
- you will find it as useful as many others already do.
-
- We would appreciate copies of anything you print regarding our
- software. Please send us a copy of any reviews, articles, catalog
- descriptions, or other information you print or distribute regarding
- any of our products. And feel free to contact us if you have any
- questions, comments, or suggestions or require additional information.
-
- Thank you for your time and assistance and for supporting the
- shareware marketing concept!
