Claim: Software Publishing Corporation's first product was a PFS brand database for Apple II which eventually led to the development of Office Suite, but the company has been defunct since October 1996.
Evidence: October 1996 SPC's first product, its "PFS" brand database for Apple II computers, was reworked, improved, and then released as pfs:File, a for DOS. The first application to be launched was the "Personal Filing System" (PFS), a simple database program for Apple II computers. It was the first of a family of products released by SPC under the "pfs:" brand which, when installed onto the same computer, combined to form a sort of office suite which included companion products pfs:Write (a word processor), pfs:Plan (a spreadsheet), pfs:Report (reporting software), and pfs:Graph (business graphics software). Eventually, SPC offered a low- to desktop publishing product called pfs:Publisher; and it packaged the core word processing, database and spreadsheet products into a suite named pfs:Office.
