dissimilar computers by converting most hardware specific commands in machine language into an independent programming language called C," Jon Wolfe writes in the Nashville Business Journal. (Wolfe 29)
UNIX was the basis of AT&Ts telephone system and the governments wide area network system. Then it became the basis of communication between engineers and scientists, and eventually the
basis of communication for everyone worldwide (World Wide Web (Web)). It has held this remarkable spot since 1969. However,
in the 1990s there are competitors in the market, namely, Microsoft Corporation with its Windows NT product. But UNIX-based software suppliers are not just turning over and letting the
competitors win. UNIX supporters are many, and UNIX remains, and will remain a major player in the marketplace. The unique advantage of
the UNIX operating system when it was introduced was that it could (and still does) run on dissimilar machines, unheard of prior to 1969. UNIX also can run more
than one program at a time, store complex graphics and databases, and link to other UNIX and mainframe computer systems, including DOS since the late 1980s. UNIX-based systems control
various programs written by many companies to distribute information between multiple computers within the network. This minimizes user costs and eliminates system-wide hardware crashes. Some of the original
UNIX programs are "still evident today." (Wolfe 29) UNIX was developed at AT&T in 1969, primarily for controlling the phone network and
handling government communications. Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Sun Systems, other U.S. companies and international companies now sell versions of UNIX that work best on their computers.
