Aldon was founded in 1979 by Albert Magid and Don Parr to provide tools for midrange software developers. The company’s products were designed to provide infrastructure around complex software projects.
Aldon’s first product, Compare, a file and database compare tool for the IBM mainframe computer, was introduced in 1982. In 1983, S/Compare, the first source change documentation tool on the market, was offered. At that time, Aldon also sold an object file compare tool called O/Compare. Originally developed for the HP 3000, S/Compare was part of a suite of comparison tools for that environment. Designed to enable programmers to identify differences in program code, it used advanced algorithms to provide comparisons that were more accurate than other tools could produce. Customers used S/Compare to identify the changes they had made to purchased packages, allowing them to integrate those changes into new releases of the packages they had bought.
