Superset




SuperSet Software was a group founded by the friends Drew Major , Dale Neibauer , Kyle Powell and later Mark Hurst . Their work was based on classwork that they started in October 1981 at Brigham Young University , Provo Utah .

In 1983 , Raymond Noorda from Novell engaged the work by the SuperSet crew. The team, was originally was assigned to create a CP/M disk sharing system to help network the CP/M hardware that Novell was selling at the time. The team was privately convinced that CP/M was a doomed platform and instead came up with a successful file sharing system for the newly introduced IBM-compatible PC.

They also wrote an application called Snipes , a text-mode game and used it to test the new network and demonstrate its capabilities. Along with Spasim and Maze War , Snipes was the precursor of many popular multi-player games such as Doom and Quake . {Link without Title}

This Network Operating System was later called Novell Netware . It has made a significant contribution to the success of Novell.
