Heh.  I remember much discussion in here around Datalight,  and later
Zortech,  but nothing about Symantec,  which should give an idea of how
long it's been...

Even ran a version of Binkley one time that was compiled under Zortech,  it
was just a bit more compact than the others that were out there at the
time.
