My first commercial software for the IIgs, Spectrum\u2122, was published in the USA by Seven Hills Software in 1991. I have continued to write software, mainly for the IIgs, right up to the present day.<\/p>\n<p>On this web site you will find much of the software that I have written for the Apple ][ and Apple IIgs since the early 1980&#8217;s.
