The History of Slicer Dicer

The original version of Slicer Dicer was developed by Dr. David Lucas at Visualogic, Inc. (a subsidiary of Northwest Research Associates, Inc.)  in the late 1980s.  The work was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and Apple Computer, Inc.  The first commercial version was available only on the Macintosh and was marketed for Visualogic by Spyglass^®, Inc., under the name Dicer^®.  In 1997 this application was enhanced and ported to Windows (now 98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Vista/Win7) and was marketed by Visualogic as Slicer Dicer^®.
