  • Abstract
    Walter Brown´s recollection of Atlantic Software explains how the firm was one of the earliest formed specifically to market third-party software. In many ways, the rise and fall of Software Resources Corporation epitomized the software marketing environment of the late 1960s, as Robert V. Head recounts. Lawrence Welke describes, with his account of the ICP Directories, how they began in 1967 as the first public lists of program products for sale.
