Paracomp was a Macintosh programming company known for their 3D software, Swivel 3D and ModelShop and FilmMaker. FilmMaker was known for its packaging which was a 16mm film reel tin which was used to contain the software and manuals. It was acquired by MacroMind in 1991 to briefly form MacroMind-Paracomp,[1] before adding Authorware in 1992[2] and becoming Macromedia.
