Todd Brelje, not Berlji!
According to the grapevine, he was working on a later version which would work under NT and have an interface more like the later Biorad software. (For those who don't know, Todd also wrote the first version of COMOS, then called CM). However Bio-Rad refused to allow him to continue with it, for unfathomable reasons of their own. Since he had been given access to Bio-Rad source code and had signed the appropriate agreements, he had no option but to comply.
Maybe someone else out there knows more details.

Subject: Re: What open-source software did you use in the past and would like to use again?
Confocal Assistant was very nice for Biorad files in particular and the things we tended to do with those images and stacks. But in addition to the 8+3 filename limitation it seemed to also have a restricted space allocated for the full path and filename string and if files were more than a few directories deep with typical names it seemed to fail to open the files - would show them in the browser but couldn't open; if the files were simply moved closer to the root level, it opened them fine.
