Optimized Systems Software

<p>Optimized Systems Software (OSS) was a company that produced <a href="/facts/Disk_operating_system/Kc28g5MR">disk operating systems</a>, <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming languages</a> with integrated development environments, and applications primarily for <a href="/facts/Atari_8-bit_computers/aT04N5zR">Atari 8-bit computers</a>. The founders of OSS previously developed <a href="/facts/Atari_DOS/WCbXpP5N">Atari DOS</a>, <a href="/facts/Atari_BASIC/aSleVCgU">Atari BASIC</a>, and the <a href="/facts/Atari_Assembler_Editor/Cv79j5Qm">Atari Assembler Editor</a> for <a href="/facts/Atari,_Inc./CQh1gphs">Atari, Inc.</a>, and many OSS products are substantially improved versions. OS A+ and <a href="/facts/DOS_XL/9su6gHPI">DOS XL</a> are based on Atari DOS.  <a href="/facts/BASIC_A%2B/pQJs2Wnp">BASIC A+</a>, BASIC XL, and BASIC XE are based on Atari BASIC. EASMD and <a href="/facts/MAC/65/B2NL0HSK">MAC/65</a> are modeled on the <a href="/facts/Atari_Assembler_Editor/Cv79j5Qm">Atari Assembler Editor</a>. <a href="/facts/Action!_(programming_language)/JQAjWMFt">Action!</a> is an <a href="/facts/ALGOL/wlFJGNEx">ALGOL</a>-inspired compiled programming language with an integrated full-screen editor. OSS also sold some software for the <a href="/facts/Apple_II/se82CNvK">Apple II</a>. 
</p><p>OSS transitioned to the <a href="/facts/Atari_ST/9GsYSlaM">Atari ST</a> with Personal Pascal and the <a href="/facts/Mac_(computer)/8GhnXTK0">Mac</a> with Personal Prolog (which was also advertised for the Atari ST, but may not have been released). OSS was not as significant in those markets. The company merged with ICD in 1988.
