Bradford (computer program)

Bradford was a computer program written and sold in the 1980s by Aaron Contorer and his firm, Contorer Computing. It was one of the first programs sold using the shareware marketing model.{{Cite web |title=Bradford — Artifact details |url=https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102780702 |access-date={{TODAY}} |website=www.computerhistory.org}}

Available for both CP/M and MS-DOS operating systems, it greatly increased the quality of printing on a dot matrix printer and included a range of fonts.

Though popular for several years, Bradford, along with similar products, became obsolete as Windows 3.1 included much more powerful support for attractive printing.
