Title: What is/was the Software Distillery
Post by: Elwood on March 06, 2003, 08:23:24 AM

Hi,

Can anyone remember what is The Software Distillery ?

They had an ascii logo like:
|_o_o|\\
|. o.   |  ||
| .      |   ||
| o  .  |  ||
|  .     |  //
======

Apparently, they worked on the OS...

Software Distillery was a group of programmers which included Matt Dillon, John Toebbes among others.
They were instrumental in creating lots of the early AmigaOS modules, Lattice C (later SAS/C), Alink,Blink.
A great deal of Matt Dillon's work can be found on Aminet. Most notably his "Dice" C compiler system.

Cheers,

Well, floppy disks, CD roms, hard drives and flash cards were put into this big copper boiler.. :-)

Weren't they responsible for ParNET?
