Unix International Inc’s director of European operations, Steinar Hoistad, claims that $1,500m is now being spent by the industry on developing Unix, and that 15,000 applications are now available: Unix International is now up to 35 employees worldwide, with seven of them based in Brussels, Belgium; pulling no punches, Holstad added that as recently as last week the Open Software Foundation held a meeting to decide whether it would press ahead with its development programme for Architecture Neutral Distribution Format technology, or whether to return the submissions to their owners – whatever decision is reached should be known soon.
