development in numerous markets where dedicated"task-specific"data processing systems had begun to develop. Digital Equipment Corporation, the leading minicomputer manufacturer retreated from its vertical

complementary of these dual"general purpose enginesâ€--personal computer hardware and packaged software --has the side-effect of foreclosing the apparent need for more specialized task-oriented software development. 31
Worse still, by the mid-1990's, the competition among packaged software vendors for extending the
