Robert G. Adamson III (born October 19, 1947, in Salt Lake City, Utah) is an American software pioneer. Adamson graduated in Computer Science from the University of Utah in 1971. In 1981, he founded Software Generation Technology Corp.〔Incorporated January 29, 1981, state of utah, file# 90569, notary Becky Garlick〕 and wrote, one of the first fully interpretive languages for IBM mainframe computers. SGT was sold to Pansophic Systems〔Continental Bank, Cashiers's Check cr 611575, February 9, 1983, 2.4 million dollars.〕 where the product was renamed GENER/OL.〔Pansophic, Oak Brook, Illinois, GENER/OL Guide GN103.0-8311〕 and later acquired by Computer Associates Later he founded Nostradamus Inc. and wrote Instant Replay,〔Third Edition, Copyright 1993〕 one of the first multimedia tools for personal computers. Instant Replay combined software demos with photos and audio for distribution on floppy diskettes. Instant Replay was used by thousands of large companies such as Intel, Microsoft and Novel, and competed for years with Dan Bricklin’s Demo Maker. Adamson also wrote well known utilities such as (Noblink ) and Hardrunner, both of which received PC Magazines Editors Choice Awards. Adamson wrote (MediaForge ), one of the first multimedia authoring tools for Windows. Mediaforge was sold to Strata〔Strata Acquires Instant Replay Corp. St. George Utah, August 31, 1994〕 and was awarded Best of Comdex finalist in the area of Development Software in 1994.〔Comdex Fall, 1994, BYTE Mag, "Development Software:MediaForge, a Windows multimedia authoring system"〕 Over 50 million MediaForge runtimes were distributed through various vendors including (Morpheus ) and (MyFamily ). MediaForge is currently in use by (XMLAuthor Inc. ) for custom development of internet applications such as (CinemaForge ). Adamson is still involved in software development with his own software development company (XMLAuthor Inc. ) He is working on new RIA and internet video technologies. In 2007 Adamson published (Rainhut ), a science fiction novel. The novel contains references to DTK (dare to know), a chaos based software system used to assist in the invention of advanced technologies. Development of the DTK software system is far too radical and expensive to attract serious investors at this time, so perhaps the concept remains for future generations to build, according to Adamson. In 2013, Adamson received a patent for the distribution of non-standard fonts via the Internet. Patent US 8522127 B2 (granted). This patented process is being used world wide now in websites and mobile apps; improving the quality, searching and appearance for hundreds of millions of users. Adamson recently founded Clantech Inc, a patent holding company. He also formed Rainhut Inc., a software company for bringing artists and mobile app developers together with an artist publishing platform and Rainmaker Software. ==Awards== * Best of Comdex Finalist: MediaForge (Comdex 1994 ) * All Time Best of the Best Utilities Category (NoBlink) (PC Magazine ) * PC Magazine: Editors Choice (HardRunner) * Editors Choice (Instant Replay Pro) PC Magazine 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「Robert Adamson (software pioneer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
