- My brother worked for Discovery for a while. They were not a cracking group
- gone good. Discovery was actually a very respectable programming house. It is
- a tribute to them that Sword of Sodan will run on a 4000. My brother has told
- me that the owner of Discovery was a very adamant about having his programmers
- follow C='s programming guidelines.
-
- Unfortunately Discovery wasn't able to handle the rapid expansion that occured
- after Sword of Sodan started raking in big bucks for them. Things started
- sour, and eventually they folded.
