Page "FTP Software" Paragraph 0

FTP Software was a software company incorporated in 1986 by James van Bokkelen, John Romkey ( author of the MIT PC / IP package ), Nancy Connor, Roxanne van Bokkelen ( née Ritchie ), Dave Bridgham and several other founding shareholders.

It was the first of many companies to name themselves after an Internet protocol.

Their main product was PC / TCP, a full-featured, standards-compliant TCP / IP package for DOS.

Initially the protocol stacks were linked into individual application executables, but by 1989 all PC / TCP applications shared a TSR kernel, which itself ( initially ) used built-in network interface drivers, and ( later ) TSR PC / TCP Packet Drivers.
