Where’s the evidence? Computerwoche reports that demand in the US for accountancy packages to run under OS/2 is so low that software develoipers are ignoring the operating system, preferring instead to concentrate on the established Unix and MS DOS markets: Open Systems Inc, a software house based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota has ceased to update its accountancy packages for OS/2, California firm Systems Plus Inc has followed suit with its single-user OS/2 system, and Basis Inc in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which has sold only three copies of its BBX Progression 3 OS/2 tools package, now sees its future very much in the Unix world; one OS/2 package, the Platinum progran developed by Advanced Business Micro Sustems, another California firm has reportedly sold satisfactorily; but even here, 90% of the business with it been for MS-DOS.
