Crux Technologies, Inc.

Since 1999 -- Long Island, NY, USA

Way back when...

In 1999, Crux Technologies, Inc. was created as a custom programming firm specializing in desktop software and websites.  Crux was founded by John Famiglietti, who left his job as a database programmer in a large corporation after recognizing the market for high-quality 3rd party software development.

While Crux thrived at creating software for other businesses, it reinvested resources to independently develop software of its own.

PC Examiner

Crux created PC Examiner, which was a software module that could inspect the contents of a PC through a web browser.  Although the PC Examiner project has recently been taken off-line temporarily, Crux is planning a major announcement regarding this project.

Also, a particularly useful, but small, independently developed side project was released to the public in 2001.  This project was Font Runner.

Font Runner

Font Runner, a free TrueType font browser, became so popular that Crux happily improved it and released a second version.  The tremendous feedback kept rolling in compelling Crux to develop the recently-released Font Runner 3 and Font Runner Pro 3.

While Font Runner Pro represents Crux’ first foray into the shareware arena, Font Runner 3 remains completely free. Font Runner 3 retains all the functionality of Font Runner 2 while enjoying many enhancements and updates that were developed for Font Runner Pro.

Today and Tomorrow

In addition to ongoing development of Font Runner and PC Examiner, since 2001 Crux has continued to work, very exclusively, developing custom software for external organizations.
