The original version was for the Apple II and created signs, cards, banners, and letterheads.[1] Designed by David Balsam and programmed by Martin Kahn, it became one of the most popular Apple II titles of all time. Versions for MS-DOS, Commodore 64, and the Atari 8-bit computers followed, as did a variant for the Apple IIGS.
