Steve launched Wendin's Computer Systems Division in 1984, developing
the XTC text editor, the PCVMS operating system (a VAX/VMS operating
system clone that ran on IBM PC/ATs), the PCUNIX (later called PCNX)
operating system (a Unix clone that ran on IBM PC/ATs), Operating System
Toolbox (an operating system toolkit that enabled software developers to
create their own operating systems), and Wendin-DOS (an MS-DOS clone
with OS/2-like screen groups and multitasking), among other products."
