Along with just about all the public ally available software ever made. It’s really a treasure trove.
Quantrix is also a fat binary so you can run it on x86 nextstep or openstep under in a vm.
National occupation classification? Network operations centre?
That said, you're watching James Bond wrong. Watch it as a porno. There's a quick excuse for a plot, then you see the "spy" doing all sorts of cool and exotic stuff.
Same thing with movies like top gun, ignore the story and just watch it as an excluse to fly $50M planes near the edge.
For those who don't know, it's basically accountancy with violence.
So they have to be a character out of a William Gibson novel? Do they rip the labels off their clothes too?
PS: This is awesome.
Since avgas is such a small market I’m thinking that might raise its TAM as a “premium plus” sort of product.
I presume there's rules somewhere where parts for the F-22, or HIMARS can't be hosted on some random companies cloud.
Improv/Quantrix was a multidimensional spreadsheet, Each model could contain multiple tables, and of course multiple views. Formulas were separate from data, so it was easy to audit a model. Clicking on a formula (in 1991) showed you all the related input and output sources.
It was the first spreadsheet with pivot tables.
Of course since it's secretly a database down below, you could do databasey things like joins and group by. In 1991.
Videos of using Improv.

Fed a bunch of countries coastline into it, and popped out ranked beachfronts to investigate more.
1. I once went to Ao Nang, Thailand a few years after the tsunami and found a really cool chill cheap beach town and loved it. Went back a few years later and right on the main street there was a McDonalds. Across from that there was a Burger king, ~100M up the road was another McDonalds. I will never return.
The IB demo has him building an interface without touching code. He goes on to demo a simple app without code. This was in 1989, I'm still waiting for Linux to get close to that.
The EOF demo has him building a CRUD app with queries and joins from IB. Again in 1990. Imagine the original rails tutorial but 15 years earlier. Still waiting on this one too.
There's lots of niche markets out there.
It’s equivalent to rails or similar orms. But it integrated with interface builder. See this [1] demo about 23 minutes in… just after he demos how great next step handles faces. He demos building a query crud app fully drag n drop.
Are you sure DO was available in OS X?
Which is a shame NeXT (apple) had a world leading ORM and RPC system in 1990. It would still impress people today.
Constellation software does exactly that. They've quietly been the Warren Buffet of SaaS business for like 20+ years now.
In particular they’re used for the Aberrated Beam Analyser. The ABA has been used to verify the optical performance of many different science instruments.
The base model supported audio and "moose cam" (A webcam, in 1996!). If you paid extra you got video.
Point a few cameras at a dancer Hugh voxel version was on the screen your could rotate bullet time like around.
Also, I remember back in 1996 when quake came out you could buy the shareware CD which came with all of IDs games locked. You called up a number and paid to get an unlock code. Very, very quickly a serial generator started floating around.
Edit: It uses a Canon-SX engine and HP 95A cartridges - same as HP laser jet II/III and Apple laserwriter II. So parts and consumables are easily available.
Obviously the HP laser jets and apple laserwriters with network cards in them are also excellent choices.
If you're picking one up now look for the ACE model. It's output only, and has much less interference than the regular models.
