1986 - 1989

By the time Richard joined Cricket software, it had already released two ground-breaking applications -- Cricket Graph and Cricket Draw -- for the Macintosh platform.  It was also in the process of porting those applications to the Microsoft Windows operating system.  At only the 0.9 version of the OS, Microsoft Windows was nothing more than a graphical suite running on top of DOS at the time.  Very few companies were developing for it, there was very little support and the documentation was sparse at best.

Richard was hired to be a part of the team that was porting applications to Windows.  The work was a combination of software engineering, "slinging code", detective work and archeology.

After about 1.5 years of work, the team eventually released all three of Cricket's Macintosh applications co-marketed by Xerox -- Graph, Draw and Presents.  Cricket Presents was a presentation package, one of only two commercially available at the time.
