The Story of the Birth of SoftNet.

     Set your SoftNet Time Viewer for Spring, 1995. As your screen
slowly clears, you'll see Rod Hancock fadin away into dust. So David
and Peter thought maybe Rod would be willing to sell Motor City Software
shareware product line to them.  So they started to write Rod messages
and messages finally in November Rod says YES. He would sell us the
entire shareware product line and source codes.

     While Peter continues to talk to Rod. You see David off trying
to get a beta team togather. Rod decides on a price. So David
and Peter comes up with the money. You now see Rod putting up
the software so Peter can start to get it.

     Fade in a short time later. David and Peter has the source
and they are going at it to change over the source to SoftNet.
SoftNet is borned.

     So now SoftNet need's Registration site; so we started to
looking around. Peter Janssens was a reg. site for Motor City
so we started to talk to him and he agrees right away. But
still need someone in the United States and other countries.
We find Jim Smoot in the wing with his other products.  So we
started to talk to Jim.  It doesn't take long for Jim to realize
what a great chance for him to add a Great new line of doors
and utilities...

     Fade in. Peter and David are hard at work with all the code
and the beta team is hard at work going though the program with
fine tooth comb.  Many advancement are being made with the code
but there is not enough time for just 2 programmers to complete
all of the projects. When a long comes a programmer that David
and Peter has had some dealing in the past. Randell Baker is
talking to David on the phone and wants to know if he could
program for SoftNet. So after a little time of talking there all
agree on the terms. So Now SoftNet has an other programmer on board.

     Another Fade in.  Ozz Nixon appears from his internet server
(hotblast.com) to jump at the chance to code on the SoftNet
team with any help he can.  Ozz is a member of Info System Technology,
Inc's Programming team, which is a parent corp of SoftNet.

     Our SoftNet Time Viewer brings us back to the present to finds
SoftNet team still dedicated to producing the best software possible.
Often projects begin as small utilities to handle a specific problem,
but blossom under the talented hands of the programming team. As the
reputation of SoftNet Software grows so does it basic needs.
