Groupe Prologue SA, the parent company of operating system developer Prologue SA, announced that its revenues for the year ended June, 92 increased 33% over the previous year to the equivalent of $21.7m. Net profit totalled $852,000. In reporting its financial results, Prologue said its three-year effort to increase overseas sales has begun to pay off; 39% of its latest revenues came from outside France. In particular, Prologue noted that its German subsidiary’s turnover of $3.9m was nearly double that of 1990. Prologue says it has sold 160,000 licences for its operating system, which represent over 400,000 users. In the last year alone, the company says it sold 17,000 licences, making Groupe Prologue one of the leading companies in the conception of software for multi-user micros. Groupe Prologue, established in 1986, credits itself with introducing the first multi-user microcomputer operating system, Prologue, and the first client-server local area network, Osilan. Although little known in the English-speaking world, multi-user Prologue is widely used on iAPX-86-based personal computers in the French market.
