Enable Software, Inc. was a privately held software development company located in Ballston Lake, New York. It was founded in 1984[1] by Ron Quake and Bob Hamilton.[2]

The company's flagship product, called Enable, was an integrated office suite for IBM PC compatibles. The suite included a word processor, a 3D spreadsheet, a relational database, and integrated communications. In 1992, Enable Office added electronic mail and calendaring software. At that time, the company estimated that its products had more than one million users.[3] Enable 4.5 was released in April 1992, with support for OS/2 2.0.[4] In 1993, it introduced JetForm for Enable, "a mail-enabled forms designer for Microsoft Windows."[5]

PowerLine, another Enable product, was a multi-protocol terminal client for Windows, similar to Hyperterminal, and was released in 1993.[6]

Enable ceased operations in 1997. At that time, there were an estimated 190,000 active users of Enable products.[7]
