Canadian software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Canadians have been contributing to the development of computer software from the beginning of the 1940s.

In 1979 the Basic Software Group was formed by Norm Frances, Ted Comfoltey, Keith Wales and Don Thompson. They wrote an accounting software general ledger that ran on a NorthStar Computer [1] using the CP/M operating system [2]. Then they ported it over to the the Windows operating system. The General Ledger module formed the base of an accounting suite that became know as Accpac.
