Hello NeXT Community : As a result of working on a NeXT project; this
made me really happy talking with the developer Mike and we will have the
source code for Phasescope to tinker with, I'll upload to the archives stay tuned .
He is going to try Previous!
Best Regards Rob Blessin

Hi Rob,

After almost 30 years, it is a pleasure to talk "NeXT" again. The software engineering immediately impressed me and after our cube arrived, I would go to the office before dawn and spend many uninterrupted hours with it. As a professor of mathematics and a teacher of differential equations, the idea for PhaseScope soon emerged and, as they say, the rest is history. In particular, Steve Jobs approached me and personally acknowledged his approval of my work at an early NeXTWorld conference and Steven Wolfram and I spend many hours talking mathematics and computing. Because of PhaseScope, Wolfram even came to my university, the University of Houston – Clear Lake, to give a talk.

 

I have moved the source for PhaseScope to a floppy and with the help of my byte shop friend, I should be able to place it on a thumb drive. The size of the compressed file is small enough to allow me to e-mail it to you.

 

I look forward to experimenting with a version of NeXTSTEP on my windows system.

 

Regards,

 

Mike

Very cool Rob! Your true calling may have been a private investigator.
