About Crux Technologies

Crux Technologies, Inc was founded in 1999 by with a vision of growing into a world-class software development firm.

In 1998, work began on a PC-hardware website that produced the need for reliable hardware detection software.  That hardware detection software, originally code-named XDetector, quickly drew interest from 3rd party organizations looking to license the technology for their own use.

Later, as the XDetector 1.x codebase grew more mature, it was re-labeled PC Examiner Version 2.0.  During the 2.x phase, the PC Examiner Pocket Edition and PC Examiner Plug-in for Netscape and Mozilla were also introduced.  These offerings freed reduced PC Examiner's dependence on Internet Explorer.

Today, Crux Technologies continues to maintain PC Examiner and Font Runner, a TrueType font management tool, while still cultivating new ideas into future software projects.
