Affable Solution's own products

Toronto was a catalog on disk product developed and marketed by me back in 1995. It only sold 5 copies before I realised that I am not a salesman. I also saw that it would be soon replaced by the Internet, but regrettably failed to pursue an online catalog solution I had prototyped.

AFA Access Library was developed as a code library providing commonly used routines. This library was licenced by some of my clients but newer versions of Access contained most of the AFA routines and so I chose not to continue development of this library.
