I used coral66 on the tornado flight simulator, responsible for solving bug reports and re-issuing the update.
remember the quality reviews of the included fault reports as well!

i had a weird 3-4 months in 1994 adding a laser pod.

vividly remember its error handling.
when it failed, it tacked the remaining source on to the output file. took awhile to twig that one!

i must have been timid then, never had enough 8" floppies to maintain a long backup chain, should have just said 'get me a lot'.
lost a few versions.
