Wow, there's a name I haven't heard in years. I wonder what happened to the
authors after Ivex went out of business?

Joel,
Which authors are you talking about? The original coders were some
Telecom India employees.

Then it bounced around Vancouver BC, then somewhere in the western US,
then I heard it was in Korea, ...then I no longer heard anything. The guys
that originally had it in Vancouver and then moved it to the western US,
were definitely not programmers, they were just flogging it. They harrassed
me for a while to assess and use it because we were located just a few
blocks away from their office. I took a quick look and then ran for the
hills.

They had a Beaverton, Oregon address for awhile -- and I first saw a copy for
sale in a Salem, Oregon store -- so I figured the developers were local, like
OrCAD decades ago. But apparently those folks were just the floggers you
mentioned...

I never used it, but from purusing the manual I felt they were aiming it at
the low-end/hobbyist market. Where I worked at the time we were using P-CAD,
which was clearly far mroe powerful, but also of course far more expensive.

Hi Joel,
Yeah that is ringing a bell somewhere in my head. I could recall that
they moved from Vancouver down into the western US somewhere, now that you
mention Beaverton Oregon, that sounds about right. At the time we were using
Protel SCH/PADs when they were trying to sway us over to their product.
Since they were so close, they visited quite often at first. It was during
those initial visits that I queried them about who wrote and supported the
code. They confessed that it was originally written in India by some
employees with the state Telecom company. Which made a lot of sense when I
looked at the canned libraries, mostly all telecom and communications parts
with a little logic.
