Hi Jackie,

He certainly edited it for a while. He’s a very friendly fellow and would do 
anything to help us. I was privileged among others to have used the very early 
versions of Hal when it was called PC Speak.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Mike

It seems he had something to do with both Hal and the Vincent program.  He 
started the Access IT magazine off at RNIB as well I think.

Kind Regards,

Hi Jackie,

It was Paul Blenkhorn, an incredibly versatile programmer. I believe he’s up 
in Manchester now. Mike Townsend might be the man to ask.

Does anyone have any information they could pass on about who worked 
on the Hal program for DOS back in the day?  I know it was sold by 
Dolphin, but I wonder who was behind it.

Trust me, I do have a reason for asking that I can't disclose right now.
