Dimension X Inc, the year-old San Francisco-based Java development tools house has bought a small San Jose-based graphics development tools company called Anyware Fast Inc, which has just four employees. The four have been around for some time though, and specialize in 2D and 3D graphics applications, Java development and virtual reality software. The partners of Anyware Fast are Alan Walkendowski, Alan Greenblatt and Chet Haase. The two Alans formed the company in 1989 after working at Computervision Inc’s graphics group together. Haase left Sun Microsystems Inc’s XGL graphics group two years ago to join the company. Dimension X had about 15 employees six months ago and now has 40. Its main product is its Liquid Motion Java development tool for end-users (CI No 2,911).
