Spell Catcher Plus 1.x
Casady & Greene, 1998.
We had been looking at doing a Windows version of Spell Catcher (it was still named Thunder) with Baseline, but that never materialized (probably a good thing). C&G decided to fund the effort, and after a year or so Spell Catcher Plus 1.0 was published. A bad consignment-type deal with a major reseller just about killed the product. Almost every copy that was shipped in the first year got returned. Even though it was a great product and customers loved it, it was a financial failure. Many lessons were learned (the hard way) about the Windows retail software channel.
