Company Profile

RedTree Development Inc. is not your typical company.

For one thing we do our development and maintain our web presence from a house on a ski hill in the Canadian Rockies. This isn't exactly Silicon Valley and we sure aren't a large software company, but then we don't pretend to be.

RedTree essentially consists of my wife (Chris Muir) and myself (Craig Morris). Chris handles the administrative chores while I serve as chief programmer, webmaster and general chief nerd. Of course we do everything over the net.

Although we are small, we are financially secure due to our past association with a successful software venture. This not only gives us an appreciation for the importance of ensuring that our software is of high quality, but it allows us the luxury of somewhat different goals than many small software companies. Indeed RedTree no longer derives any income directly from commercial software.

RedTree now makes Wilbur available as open source software and Wilma as a free program and was actively involved with the start up of the Sim 42 open source simulator project, both as a contributor of code and by providing hosting services. While RedTree derives no income from these activities and is no longer involved with Sim42 now, it is an investor in the Virtual Materials Group which was a major sponsor of Sim42.
