Long time ago now, but IIRC. At the end of their RISC OS engagement, they
produced a graphics app for the Windows PC side of things, called Xara.

Then they sold the rights to Corel so it became Corel Xara.
Corel, who as usual didn't do much with it, and after a few years CC got
Xara back and did some more development work on it.

They are still at Gaddesden Place, and the Xara app I believe is
appreciated in Pro design circles.
