Golden Software Inc. is a privately held, American company based in Golden, Colorado. It develops and markets a small catalog of GIS and scientific software. Founded in 1983, Golden Software is one of the world's oldest software companies, and the first to market three-dimensional surface and contour mapping applications for the PC.〔 〕 ==History== Patrick Madison, a CSM computer science instructor, and Dan Smith, a graduate student, began a partnership in 1983 with the development of a printer interface language that took advantage of the full resolution available to dot-matrix printers. Their first commercial program, PlotCall, transformed plotter instructions into dot-matrix instructions compatible with over 20 commercial printers.〔 〕 This opened the computer graphing and mapping market to the wider arena of users with inexpensive commercial printers. Between 1985 and 1986 the company released two DOS applications: Surfer, a surface and contour mapping program, and Grapher, a spreadsheet-plotting application. In 1990 it released its first Windows program: MapViewer. Their next product, Didger was released in 1996. Their most recent programs, Strater and Voxler began shipping in 2004 and 2006. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Golden Software」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
