A Brief History

Fourth Ray Software has its roots starting in August 2001, when owner Peter Vanvliet started Visual Sage, Inc. The company was renamed to Fourth Ray Software in late 2004. Our first product, LinkCheck™, was released under Visual Sage and was later renamed to FRSLinkCheck™. In 2005 we released our second product, FRSLibrary™. The following year was even more productive when we released FRSGiftRegistry™, FRSPCShutdown™, and FRSPCReboot™. During 2007 and 2008 we focused mainly on upgrading all of our products to a common user interface standard, and to include the ability to automatically upgrade the applications. During 2009 we announced two brand new products, FRSCalendar™ and FRSWebSpell™, and continued to improve our other products. Early in 2010 we focused on getting all of our products in compliance with Windows Vista and Windows 7, which was no small task. Later that year we released FRSFileList™ and FRSFileMgr™, as well as numerous upgrades to all of our other products (which we continued to do throughout 2011).

What's Going On Today?

For 2012 we are planning on releasing one new product, and continuing to upgrade all of our other products. Our overriding philosophy is "constant and never-ending improvement", and so we are always looking to improve our current products, and to implement new ideas to help you.

Remember, our software upgrades are always free, and we don't charge an annual fee!
