On-Line Software International, Inc. was a Fort Lee, New Jersey, company[1] whose earnings reports were followed by The New York Times in the 1980s and 1990s.[2][3] It was founded in 1969.[4]

In late 1986 the company acquired Mathematica's RAMIS (software) product, which had sold it to Martin Marietta Corporation in 1983; Computer Associates subsequently acquired On-Line Software. RAMIS was passed along together with a front-end called English.[5]
