History
Homer Eaton and Foad Rekabi of ROMER designed Supravision in the 1980s. It originally began as a DOS program and then was migrated to Windows. When it was redesigned for Windows, Foad decided to keep the DOS SV look and feel in the Windows version.
In 2011, ROMER CIMCORE - A division of Hexagon Metrology, began replacing Supravision with DOCS software.
About the Supravision File Format
 The Supravision file format was designed to store the Supravision project setup for any single part. This is an example of a Supravision file in an editor. Regular Supravision files end with the filename extension of $$$.
