Company founded in 1988 by a number of ex-Xerox people and introduced their first product in the form of "ObjectWorks\Smalltalk" (Later renamed to VisualWorks) for UNIX workstations later the same year. Followed up with OS/2 32bit and MS Windows 16 versions in the early 90's.
Signed an agreement with DEC in 1993 to develop Smalltalk systems for Alpha processors, this is the reason why VisualWorks was one of a very few development systems that supported both UNIX and Windows NT on Alpha processors.
The company merged with Digitalk in 1995 to ParcPlace-Digitalk.
