# Eidersoft Troubles?

When we received a recent order from Digital Precision, Freddy Vacha had scribbled on the bottom of the invoice, “Friendly tip-Eidersoft in trouble.” Eidersoft was one of the first companies to support the QL and has produced some excellent QL software and hardware- I.C.E., Aspell, Karate, ICICLE, their Mouse System, and were listed as the U.K. distributor for CST’s THOR. They had concentrated more in the past year on Atari ST software and hardware. Their ST version of Karate, which was based on the L version, did very well both here and in England and Europe.
