Although there was a Profile for the I/III/IV, they were not made by
SCC.  We did eventually have a Profile III Plus, as I recall, but the
"regular" Profile for I/III/IV was a different product.

The filePro we know and love today started out on the Model II as
"Electric File Clerk", and first released by Tandy as "Profile II".

Also, there was a CP/M version of filePro at one point.  (Yes, there
really and truly was a version of filePro for an Apple computer, as
it was available for CP/M on the Apple ][ with the Z-80 card.)
