PenRight! Pro was a cross platform development environment for pen based applications with handwriting input. It also included an MSDOS based Graphical user interface with pen and handwriting support.
PenRight! Pro was created by Grid Systems Corporation as a dedicated development toolset for the GRiDPad line of pen input tablet computers. It was first available only to GRiDPad developers as GRiDPen and renamed to PenRight and PenRight! Pro when licensed to others. The runtime installed as a Terminate and Stay Resident runtime API extension to MSDOS. The developer tools, GRiDResource, GRiDForm and Codestart ran in the same graphic environment.
