History of PAT
Pat was conceived in 2000. A Podiatrist in Queensland asked CTD to write a database program for Patient History and Invoicing. In 2007 another podiatrist found out about the earlier version and asked if it were possible to update the original version and add many new parts to it. So came Pat 9.5.

Planet Earth Media Productions is the new arm of Computing and Television Design.
