About VET

Honours

Mr VET

I was born in Ivanhoe, Victoria, in 1934, and have lived around Melbourne ever since, apart from spells in England from 1935 to 1937, and from 1955 to 1957, and a year at Berkeley in 1964-65. My family moved to Mount Dandenong in 1942, where I acquired my interest in native plants, and I stayed there until I started University in 1951.

I graduated from Melbourne University with the degree of Bachelor of Electrical Engineering in 1954. After spending two years in England I returned to Australia in 1957 and joined CSIRO. I resigned from CSIRO in 1973 and set up Cybec Electronics. In 1983 I joined Chisholm Institute of Technology at Caulfield (now Monash University Caulfield campus), where I lectured in Microprocessors and Instrumentation. In 1989 I wrote the first version of the antiviral software program Vet, and in 1990 I resigned from Chisholm to work full time on Vet. We sold Vet to Computer Associates in 1999.

I have lived in East Brighton since 1961.

This page is effectively my scrapbook. At the moment it only contains details of my technical publications, a few discussion papers and some poems I wrote 50 years ago.

Further information about VET, the anti-computer virus software I developed at Cybec, and about Honours I have received, is given on the Cybec Foundation web site.
