“F4S: Hi Franz. Please, give us a brief introduction about
yourself.

“I started in 1973 as a designer for videorecorders at Phillips.
I started programming small applications and in 1981 I began as an
application-programmer for Tektronix grafic-terminals at Rohde
& Schwarz-Textronix.

“Since 1984 I produced technical software and add-on-programs
for CAD-systems (Catia), for the companies MatraDatavision, IBM,
MAN-Austria, AIRBUS-Hamburg and others. Later I did many
postprocessors and some NC-modules (eg CATWIRE).

“In the last years I have also worked for a company that
produces software for road-construction. (Autocad-Civil
Add-Ons).”
