Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development

The Center for Software Science created a complete integration capability to enable a Unix based program to be run in a Windows Operating System.  The product allowed for compatibility between PC and Unix workstations throughout the country, running approximately 150 functions. 

This was an especially useful software during the transition from Unix to a Windows based environment.  At that time the center was well funded.  However once Windows became the standard, the need for this technology almost completely disappeared.

• This technology was critical during the transition from Unix to Windows Operating Systems.
• While funded, this center had a 17 to 1 match in funding.
• The technology enabled Unix based programs to be run in Windows Operating Systems.
