Wang OIS
All software for the systems was developed by Wang Laboratories, and the operating system, file formats, and electronic interface specification were closely held proprietary secrets. Wang did not want third parties developing for or interconnecting with its systems. (This was relaxed somewhat in the late eighties).[citation needed]
This is wrong and should be removed. In the early eighties it was possible to develop and distribute user applications written in BASIC. Thomas (talk) 13:44, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
