I was wondering when someone might start down this path. There are also a
lot of 'contract houses' out there who are paid quite well to not be
known, that write the software for a number of the big names in the
business.
One of the more prolific that I am aware of (having worked there for a
while) was (is?) 'Control-C SOftware'. (Andrew Johnson-Laird and
associates)
