273					Radofin Electronics, Ltd., commonly known as Radofin, was a multinational electronics company founded in July 1974. <br />
274Three headquarters were established: Radofin Electronics in London, Radofin Electronics in Liechtenstein, and Radofin Electronics (Far East) in Hong Kong. Initially, the company was engaged in the manufacture and sale of calculators, taking advantage of the growing demand for consumer electronics at that time.<br />
275It later went on to manufacture its own consoles and storage systems for 8-bit computers.<br />
276Noteworthy is the Dragon MSX (1985), designed by Radofin for Eurohard, owners of Dragon Data. Although it was never released to the public due to Eurohard's bankruptcy, several hundred units were produced and given to employees as part of their final salaries.					</p>

292					Ashton-Tate was a US software company famous for developing the dBase database application and the Framework office suite.<br />
293<br />
294Designed by Wayne Ratliff, dBase was a database manager that, at one point, held a monopoly in its market.<br />
295<br />
296Framework, designed by Robert Carr, was office suite that combined the functions of a word processor, spreadsheet, graphics manager, file manager, and communication software that brought together several terminal emulators. A macro language called FRED (for FRamework EDitor) completed the package. <br />
297<br />
298Ashton-Tate grew from a small garage company into a multinational corporation with software development centers throughout the United States and Europe. It became one of the “Big Three” software companies, alongside Microsoft and Lotus.<br />
299<br />
300After the death (from a heart attack) of George Tate, Ashton-Tate was sold to Borland in 1991.					</p>

441					<div style="padding: 8px;">
442					Founded by: Niels Jensen, Ole Henriksen, Mogens Glad & Philippe Kahn<br />															Headquarters: <img src="/flags/us.png" alt="US" /> USA					 (Austin)					<br />
443					Since: 1983 <br />
444										<br />
445					
446					<p>
447					Borland was founded in 1983 when a young Dane named Anders Hejlsberg reached an agreement with Philip Khan to sell the Pascal compiler that Anders had created for personal computers. Turbo Pascal was a compiler with an “environment” concept that was revolutionary at the time.<br />
448Borland later released compilers for other languages such as Prolog (Turbo Prolog) and Basic (Turbo BASIC). But the most popular and successful was the C programming language, Turbo C.<br />
449Borland rose to the top of the compiler market, competing with Microsoft.<br />
450But it lost that position before Windows 95 came out. The Windows version of Turbo Pascal was considered a good product. But programming for Windows cried out for a more comfortable environment. Meanwhile, Microsoft was taking over the market with Visual Basic. By the time Delphi was released in the spring of 1995, it had already lost a lot of ground.<br />
451<br />
452Just as Delphi emerged as the evolution of Turbo Pascal for MS Windows, so did Turbo C give rise to C++Builder. <br />
453The company also launched JBuilder, a Java IDE (1996).<br />
454<br />
455Company evolution:<br />
456<br />
457In 1991, Borland acquired Ashton-Tate, continuing to market its flagship products, dBase and Interbase.<br />
458<br />
459Around 1993-94, agreements were reached with WordPerfect for cooperation in office automation, with their products being marketed jointly.<br />
460<br />
461Following the purchase of Visigenic (a company specializing in CORBA and creator of VisiBroker) in 1997, it changed its name to Inprise.<br />
462<br />
463In 1999, Microsoft invested in the company, two months after causing the departure of Inprise's top executives.<br />
464<br />
465In 2000, there was a failed attempt to merge with Corel.<br />
466<br />
467In 2001, Inprise reverted to its famous name, becoming Borland Software Corporation.<br />
468<br />
469On November 14, 2006, the IDEs and compilers department (Borland Developer Tools Group) separated from Borland to form a new subsidiary (whose sole shareholder was Borland) called CodeGear. The parent company, Borland Software Corporation, will focus on analysis, design, and application lifecycle management (ALM) tools.<br />
470<br />
471In May 2008, Borland Software Corporation reached an agreement to sell CodeGear to Embarcadero Technologies for $23 million.<br />
472<br />
473On May 6, 2009, software developer Micro Focus purchased Borland Software Corporation for $75 million.					</p>

488					<p>
489					Rotronics Ltd., a Rovo Financial Corporation Ltd. division based in High Wycombe, manufactured the Rotronics Wafadrive in 1984.<br />
490<br />
491This peripheral for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum home computer was launched in late 1984 as a competitor to Sinclair's ZX Interface and ZX Microdrive. The Wafadrive featured two built-in continuous loop "stringy floppy" tape drives manufactured by BSR, an RS-232 interface, and a Centronics parallel port.<br />
492<br />
493Despite its innovative features, the Rotronics Wafadrive faced several challenges. It required high memory usage, with the operating system reserving about 2K of the Spectrum's memory.<br />
494The device also suffered from slow performance compared to microdrives, compatibility issues, and unreliable storage media. Users encountered difficulties, and sales were poor, ultimately outweighing the peripheral's advantages.<br />
495<br />
496As a result of these issues, Rotronics Ltd. was liquidated by 1989, marking the end of Wafadrive's short-lived presence in the market.					</p>
