I don't know about this idea of "retiring" Prime Information. The Information
flavor is part of Universe, you can still select it, so I suggest they "merged"
it into Universe, for lack of a better phrasing.

I'm not sure about this. As far as I know, once VMark took ownership of Prime
Information, they gently retired it.

No, SMI was always in Des Plaines, IL.
Oak Brook was home to the McDonalds User Group (MUG) which managed
accounting for hundreds (thousands?) of McDonalds hamburger
franchises. That software was originally in RPL until it was ported to
BASIC. (I had a hand in that.)
I have a couple clients in Oa
SMI and, of course, RPL.

Anthony I'd be very surprised if the DevCom code was created that way.
My understanding, and I'm willing to be corrected, was that the DevCom code

So I don't think the DevCom folk worked for or with Dick at all when they

They even took over some of the offices
that Prime had on Speen Street. When Prime went under, don't ask why, at the
end of the 80's, early 90's, Vmark bought Prime Information.

What is the origin of Prime Information?
How did that come about?
The histories I've seen so far about Prime focus almost exclusively in the
hardware. Who developed Information ? Why did they make it "Pick" like ?
Where did they go ?

Okay but let's just talk about 1990-1993
How did Computer Vision exactly get its hands on Prime Information ?
This happened *before* the final bankruptcy of Prime?
Or did somehow Prime sell or spin off Computer Vision with Prime Information as
well?

If I'm not mistaken, there was another company in between Vmark and IBM.
I believe (and there may have been some smoke and mirrors in all this)
that Informatics "acquired" Ardent and then assigned the CEO of Ardent as
the President of Informatics, or something like that, to run both Ardent
and Inf
