These people had been working together on the Cosmic Cube, which was the worlds first parallel computer.

In the early 1990 s the company transitioned to more general purpose software development tools, specializing in tools for what the company calls Automated Error Prevention or Automated Error Prevention. The mid-90 s saw the inclusion of Java tools to what had mostly been a C/C++ product line.
