==Older Utilities By Steve Loft==
Cumulus 3 (MX) software was developed as a beta with limited functionality by Steve Loft.
* Steve Loft previously developed Cumulus 2 (where he tested using the C# language, now used for MX)
* Steve Loft created the original Cumulus software (now known as legacy cumulus 1) just for his personal use, before making it generally available, he then developed it over the next decade to include requirements suggested by thousands of users.
* Steve Loft, the author of Cumulus/Cumulus MX has since fully retired, and stopped providing support, or updates, to any of his software.
