Abstract
Significant developments during 1991 are examined. A battle shaped up on the PC operating systems marketplace between Windows and OS2, even as new Windows applications dominated the marketplace. Competition heated up in RISC for the desktop. Object-oriented programming and C++ gained ground, and activity in Ada compilers continued. Because of the general slowdown in the economy, it was not a particularly profitable year for CAE companies. CASE got off to a good start when Informix Software Inc. announced its OpenCase program to provide tools for DOS and Unix platforms that will work together, and a push is on for standards and metrics.<>
