FW Editor: How and when did you start writing the code for Structorizer? What inspired you the most? Do you plan to develop new software, or are you more focused on optimizing the current ones?
Bob Fisch: I started to write the first code of Structorizer in 2006. The first version has been written in Java. In fact, I didn't like "StructEd", so I started to write my own editor. Actually I have a new project, called "Unimozer", but I still try to do my best in optimizing Structorizer.
