I never worked with Mathew as such. He was part owner of Software

Projects, but the company was run by Tommy Barton, so most of my
contact was with Tommy. SP had a number of employees who worked at
their premises in Liverpool. Most of their efforts disappeared without
trace. I worked independently from home.
Indeed, I don't know whether Mathew continued development work. The
story I heard from Tommy and Alam Maton (I think that was his name)
was that they literally had to stand over Mathew while he completed
JSW so that it would get done. The impression I got was that Mathew
was pretty bored with it by this time. I suspect that that's how the
Attic bug arose.
Cameron.
