There was no CASE, ACE and various other tools, they came in version 2. And the symbol editor was horrible, I remember. I think Gillian worked on the CASE tool. Smallworld was still pretty small in '91, my first training in Cambridge was done by the accountant while Nicola came in if something crashed or they 'cooked' a new Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470995059384390571.post-62661768456320999222008-12-24T20:56:00.000-07:002008-12-24T20:56:00.000-07:00Happy Birhtday to big smallworld!Good to hear the ...Happy Birhtday to big smallworld!<BR/>Good to hear the history and comments on smallworld from Walter and many of the old smallworld guys.
