They began developing a client-server product about 1990, using OS/2 and Modula-2 and Sybase. Over the years they moved to Windows, went through C, C++, and are now using Java, and the database preferences are Oracle, MS SQL, and DB2 (I believe).
The private investors who bought the company some years ago finally flipped their investment this year, by selling the company to a competitor (Sirsi). The new company name is SirsiDynix. I believe the Dynix customer base is still about 33% on the legacy product, including at least a couple of VERY large libraries in metropolitan areas _everyone_ would recognize, in North America and Asia. I finally (after almost 21 years) got a better offer locally last year.
