Job Responsibilities in the Human Performance Engineering Dept.

I took existing programs, created complementary ones, packaged them all together, creating the UNIX Writer's Workbench Software. These programs were the first ones to provide feedback about a document (beyond spelling checks), and they were copied by people outside AT&T to create the whole new PC market in writing analysis software. I provided technical leadership to the group that began to work on the project.
Over the next 5 years, we developed new programs, ported the programs to other UNIX machines, and licensed them through Western Electric.
In the last release, I designed and wrote a 4500-line C interactive proofreading program that emulated the UNIX vi editor but also provided correction menus.
Following AT&T divesture, funding for WWB devlopment was halted in late 1985.
