Semaphore Corporation

[8] About 50 copies were sold, after originally being developed as a consulting project for a Pick user who had created a huge VisiCalc marketing model on their Apple II that required 23 floppy disks.

[10] FreeCCS was software to do credit card processing for merchants, created in-house in 1997 as a replacement for MacAuthorize due to a bug found in that product.

MAF was discontinued March 12, 2018, but all originally available tools (including gender taggers, name parsers, barcode generators, and many other applications), source code, and documentation can still be downloaded.

Stride was MRP software for manufacturing companies, using the Pick operating system and targeted for General Automation computers.

[12] A version of Stride modified for distribution companies was acquired and used internally by Educorp, a Del Mar California distributor of Macintosh freeware and shareware.

Announced in 1986,[13] Semaphore operated Telefolders as a public network, charging $49.95 for the Macintosh software plus per-minute fees for dial-in access.

Beginning in November 1998, Semaphore used Postal Service "black boxes" connected to Windows machines to do lookups against the national FASTforward database of forwarding addresses filed by movers at their post offices.

Semaphore's GEO database of latitudes, longitudes, and census tracts and blocks, derived from Tiger files, was also sold beginning in 2006.

DVD-ROM versions of ZP4 began shipping in 2005, and in 2013, separate companion discs were discontinued and all data and software was bundled on a single DVD.

ZP4net was discontinued November 30, 2017, being replaced by MAF, and ending Semaphore's twenty-eight year period of selling Postal Service databases.
