Unicomp Inc, the Marietta, Georgia, Unix and NT software developer, has bought UK-based Carlton Software Products Ltd, an IBM AS/400 application developer. The all-cash transaction, for an undisclosed sum, will enable Unicomp to market a wider range of applications to CarltonÆs customer base, which includes many of the worldÆs major corporations.

Carlton, which has been in operation for ten years, has a single product mAStermind, which provides a control center for AS/400 operations. IBM Global Services is one of its customers. Earlier this month, Unicomp bought North Carolina-based Continuum Technology Corporation, a developer of front-end solutions for the point of sale (POS) market.
