I was hired to set-up the European Macintosh Quality Assurance team. My team was responsible for the Quality Assurance (QA) and translation of all Ashton•Tate’s European Macintosh product, FullWrite, FullImpact and the FullPaint package. This work involved writing plans and schedules, general report writing, hiring staff, purchasing equipment and so on. I liaised with US Ashton•Tate developers, US Apple developers, Apple European Marketing and the other Ashton•Tate offices throughout Europe. Each application was translated into approximately eight European versions, each of which had to be thoroughly tested. During my 'gearing up' period I developed an automated Test Tool for the Macintosh liaising with key developers at Apple in the US, no such tool existed anywhere at the time. I was 100% successful but Ashton-Tate was not and aborted their Macintosh development efforts as part of their financial collapse and sale to Borland.

Mindware Ltd. produced games software for publishers British Telecom, Activision, and Microprose . We devised and wrote several games across the main 16-bit formats at the time. Mindware developed a cross platform game API in C and assembler we allowed us to produce software for a range of different systems that shared 90% of the source code. It ran on three different 68000 machines as well as 8086 based IBM PCs. The software made wide use of graphics. We implemented all primitive functions in software including various blitters, polygon drawing (convex, concave and complex), line drawing, and font rendering. On the Amiga, we interfaced to the hardware rendering functionality where appropriate. It ran on CGA and EGA on the PC without the need for two versions of the program. Similarly, it ran on the Macintosh (monochrome) and various Atari and Amiga memory map B&W and colour displays. I designed and implemented the 'WIMP' interface used by Mindware's products; Tracker was apparently the first game to be mouse driven on the PC with solid 3D graphics. This software was event-driven, with buttons, pull- down menus, scroll bars, graphics and text in windows. It was developed remotely on the IBM PC in C and Assembler, using cross compilers.
