Architron architectural program - mid 80's

I'm curious.
I just recalled that term "Architron" and it was a program used by some students at University of Florida back in the mid-80's or so.

There was this dude from Lithuania or Bulgaria or somewhere there abouts who used this program religiously....he was always in the UF design lab where they had Microstation and other various programs, Autocad 2.5 inclusive and well..I was wondering if any knew where Architron program came from?

thanks,
Rob

I believe it was called Architrion, and I think it was french (at least originally).

Yes, I think that was it but.....I remember seeing that on a white screen, on a MAC. So I'm not sure just "what" OS that software was displayed on in the video. The one I remember was on a MAC II or Apple II or LiSA or somrthing like that......but it did have that same/similar name..."Architron" or "Architrion"....something like that.
