the Sole Proprietorship of myself, W. John Coulthard. It is

I am a
retired Computer Professional with a broad range of computer
skills gained
providing technical, management, and instructional support at the
Computing
Services Department, University of British Columbia. To see what keeps

. I started my career at the University of BC in 1965. Initially, as a programmer, I was heavily involved in the support of Graphics. Later, as a manager, I was involved in the support of Computer Languages, Data Base systems, Microcomputers and Unix systems. I wrote the first version of QuikGrid in 1993 as an
exercise
to learn how to program in C++ under the Windows operating system. I
originally
developed the underlying grid generation and contouring algorithms in FORTRAN
in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. The program has evolved since 1993
in
response to requests from people who use it. QuikGrid was sold as
shareware until the end of 2003. At that time, as part of my retirement
transition, I turned it into freeware. Soon afterwards I released the
source code for the grid generation and contouring modules. In 2005 I
released the full source code. My goal was to
provide
a compact, easy to use and extremely fast tool to help you
visualize
and analyze scattered data points which define a surface. REVIEW OF OPEN OFFICE:
