It took me a few moments to figure out what that was.

All this time, I thought SSI basically developed the SHP standard "in house".

I guess by the early 1990s, things had become complicated enough that for graphics libraries, it was simpler to buy the middleware graphics package from Miles Design?

...that makes sense the more I think about it, given that:

A.) SP1 and SP2 had silly video sequences to show off CDROM capability, and those must have been early Smacker/RAD video codecs.

B.) The 3 million and one different video cards and sound cards at the time, all with their own competing standards.
