Sad but true. Too often things become the 'standard' due to slightly different marketing techniques while the superior products fade into obscurity. Thank you for the history lesson...I never quite understood the Intergraph / Bentley relationship. I wasn't able to find any decent quality screenshots of what you had done...why don't you link some up for us?

The cover shoot certainly rattles a memory and your name certainly looks familiar. I kept all of my copies of Microstation manager...up until I left the job.
