Plummer has been chatting about his time in Vole on his YouTube channel Dave's Garage. In the 90s, Plummer was porting the Windows 95 shell to Windows NT which included a redo of Windows Format. It had to be a replacement and complete rewrite since the Win95 system was so markedly different,. https://fudzilla.com/news/52138-wind...st-dave-s-whim
