About Micromiser

Micromiser Software, originally a software development company, is now
a business software consulting company. We continue to maintain one
database engine and application generator,
SeriousB Windows. That is necessary to have available all the features
we feel are necessary to run and support business applications in
practice over time, and to have the ability to fix problems in a
workable time frame (immediately).

Besides SeriousB, we develop a few other products for general use, but
which also apply to small business. These including WebPerHr and
MiserMail.

Micromiser started in 1979 developing developing various game and
business software for Atari computers (We no longer support Atari
computers).

In 1985 we released our first nationally distributed business database
program named Turbobase for Atari computers, following that shortly
with a companion word-processor and file manager named Turboword and
Turbofile.

In 1988 we released Ultrabase ST, another database engine and
application generator, for the Atari ST. The Atari ST was shortlived
as a major platform contender, and Ultrabase ST was necessarily
shortlived as well. It is interesting to note that the Atari ST has a
graphical operating system like Windows, so we actually wrote our
first "Windows" version circa 1988.

These Atari programs were well received and generated numerous
excellent reviews in national media, available by request.

In 1990 we switched to IBM compatibles, meaning DOS, and released the
first version of SeriousB for DOS in 1991. At this time we became more
interested in providing business applications, i.e. as consultants,
than in marketing the software to create and run them. That was mostly
due to the nature of software marketing in the IBM market compared to
the Atari market.

Our in-house staff expanded to about five consultants at this time,
and our primary source of income came from setting up, selling, and
supporting customized business applications for individual businesses.
We continued to develop and maintain SeriousB to run the applications,
as we could find no other application generator and database engine
with features and support to satisfy the needs of our clients.

In 1996 we started on the Windows version, named SeriousB Windows. Our
clients have been using the various versions since 1997. We also
included version 1.0 as part of the "Easy Genius" consulting course we
sold in 1996-1997. Version 4.1 is now available for download on this
site.
