HiSoft Systems[1] is a software company based in the UK, creators of a range of programming tools for microcomputers in 1980s and 1990s.
[citation needed] Their most well-known products were the Devpac assembler IDE environments (earlier known as GenST and GenAm for the Atari ST and Amiga, respectively).
The Devpac IDE was a full editor/assembler/debugger environment written entirely in 68k assembler and was a favourite tool among programmers on the Atari GEM platform.
The business was created in 1980 and was based in Dunstable, Bedfordshire before relocating to the village of Greenfield in the same county.
[citation needed] David Link, the founder and owner, ran a café ([3]) in the village of Emsworth for a year until July 2007 and a restaurant/bar/guest house([4]) in Shanklin, Isle of Wight, from 2010 until January 2015.
