Stefan,

There is an educational software package called Converge that was written by
John Mowbray. It's published by JEMware. However, according to the
information on the Help About screen, parts of Converge were created using
LEADTOOLS from Lead Technologies so I suspect this is the package to which
you're referring. It's not exclusively a graphics package, but it does
include graphics. What it's best at is helping students visualize concepts
(e. g., watch as the number of intervals in a partition increases and the
area of the rectangles approaches the area under a curve). I've used this
software through several versions and find it to be a useful teaching tool.

For more information, the address is:

John and his wife, Betty, are the company. The business card lists their
residence number (808-947-1853) as well as the business number.

Regards,

Jerry
