IIRC alot of companies OEMed TOPS from TOPS (the original company) then
Digital once TOPS was acquired.

TOPS (the PC<-> Apple network software) was not acquired from
d|i|g|i|t|a|l -- it was picked up by Sun along with 10-NET
and promptly jetisonned as soon as Microsoft killed the Peer-to-Peer
market for Dos/Windows networking with Windows For Workgroups.
I've got a collection of DOS/Windows networks (10Net, Netware Light,
Personal Netware) and they were steamrollered by WfW when
Microsoft rolled the TCP/IP and into it and made it a high-memory
package using Winsock and DLL's.
