Encyclopedia > Bradford (software program)

Bradford was a software program written and sold in the 1980s by Aaron Contorer and his firm, Contorer Computing. It was one of the first programs sold using the shareware marketing model.


Available for both CP/M and MS-DOS operating systems, it greatly increased the quality of printing on a dot matrix printer and included a range of fonts.


Though popular for several years, Bradford, along with similar products, became obsolete as Windows 3.1 included much more powerful support for attractive printing.

Bradford Paley received an Individual Artist's grant from the New York State Council for the Arts.
Curator Christiane Paul commissioned W. Bradford Paley to participate in CODeDOC, an exhibition on their on-line ARTPORT gallery.
The project was to write code that "moves three points in space," but the focus was on the process: the source code itself would be visible to viewers, and artists were invited to comment on one another's work.
