content: Ashton-Tate purchased the MAP-MASTER software from Decision Resources in Westport, Connecticut in 1986. This software allowed users to quickly and easily create full-color custom maps, by either importing data from spreadsheets or database files, entering data manually, or by using one of MAP-MASTER's statistical libraries. In 1988 this software sold for $395 (about $840 in 2019 dollars).
