MM/1 and MM/1a specific software

The MM/1 Software Overview

Please send updates, or additional information to spooky@iinc.com

This file is an attempt at creating a master list of MM/1 specific software. It currently does not contain a number of the smaller utilities (like file-compression utilities). The list includes a few programs which aren't MM/1 specific (such as Sculptor and SC) because they are the only programs in their "class" of software. In the future, I may be able to split this list between MM/1 specific software (stuff that uses K-windows, or sound) and generic OSK software.

I've collected contact information on the vendors listed in a separate file, which will be posted along with this one.

This file is intended to be a quick reference for people looking for software. In addition it can act as a roadmap for developers looking for new products to develop.

If you have additional information on software, please send it to me so I can included it in future updates.
