No one who has watched the spectacular growth of the minicomputer industry needs to be told that people are finding new small computer applications at an astonishing rate. Undoubtedly there are many reasons for this striking increase in minicomputer utilization. Certainly one reason is the increasing sophistication of minicomputer software. This paper will summarize the development of this sophistication, and will try to characterize its present state. Minicomputer hardware evolution will be discussed because of its effect on minicomputer software evolution. The range of minicomputer uses and users will be characterized along with their varying software organizations. Commentary on techniques of minicomputer software development is included. A number of examples of both past and present minicomputer software systems are presented.
