   It is not correct to say that no software such as operating systems,
compilers and editors are being developed by Indian software vendors
in India. I myself used to work for a company called SOFTEK PVT. LTD. ,
a New Delhi based company, well known in India for its indigenous systems
software for micros. We developed Pascal, Fortran IV, Fortran 77, COBOL,
and CBasic compilers for a number of indigenously produced micros (by
UPTRON, WIPRO etc.). We also wrote the operating system for the UPTRON
machine.

   However, I am not sure if the market for indigenously written systems
software is quite so hot now, as it was in 1983, when I left.
