A Brief History of Telon
Telon was originally designed by Christiansen Systems around
1980. Many features, like HELP and HOLD, were originally included
at clients' suggestion, without much market analysis. Since it was
not clear exactly in what form the feature would be most useful to clients,
it was delivered in what might be called prototype form. In
other words, Christiansen did the hard work of building the feature, but
left it up to the client to fill in the details by customizing the macros.
Don Christiansen always intended to go back and complete the feature once
he could see what the most popular form was.
After Pansophic took over, clients were discouraged from customizing
macros, but no-one ever went back to fully exploit the feature. Thus
Telon is now full of beautifully designed features requiring very little
work to make them really useful.
CASE Integrators has developed ways of exploiting these features without
making macro changes.
