About
Incorporated in 1980, Innovative Computer Systems (now Compact Data Works) was a small consulting company specializing in
OpenVMS. This was before the Alpha - in the time of VMS Version 4. We had offices in New Jersey and Los Angeles. For several
years, we transfered a lot of files back and forth and with clients. As a result, to help ourselves, we developed a file compression tool
we called FCX. It was rudimentary but it worked. Many of our clients were very interested in what we were using to transfer files.
Then in 1987, we decided to get serious about FCX and turn it into a product. Not as easy as we thought, but we persevered and in
1988 introduced FCX to the OpenVMS marketplace. Our first customer, a company in the Silicon valley, still uses FCX today. FCX is
currently being used on thousands of computers all around the world.
Today, FCX is available for AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, and Windows, as well as OpenVMS for the VAX, AXP and IA64.
