Various existing BBC Micro products were to be offered to run under emulation on the Archimedes, but the principal new product was to be a 'WYSIWYG wordprocessor which makes full use of the RISC windowing environment'. In 1986, Computer Concepts released its first piece of software for the Atari ST, Fast ASM, but the company's development focus returned to the Acorn platform when the Acorn Archimedes was released in 1987, pledging 'almost exclusively ARM-related' development and indicating that software developed for the Archimedes would not merely be conversions of ST-based software already in progress. Support was set to continue for the company's BBC Micro products, however, and despite showing the Atari ST at the Acorn User Exhibition in 1986, the company introduced new products for the BBC Micro: the Inter-Base and Inter-Word office suite products. iXara Ltd started to explore cloud developments, and since 2016 both companies have been subsidiaries of Xara GmbH.Ītari ST and Acorn Archimedes development ĭissatisfied with the evolution of Acorn's product range, having 'stretched the BBC micro beyond the limit', Computer Concepts announced in late 1985 that the company would concentrate on development for the Atari ST, noting that its need for software was similar to that of the early days of the BBC Micro. the company name was changed to Xara, Ltd., in 1995, and later to The Xara Group, Ltd. It was originally called Computer Concepts, Ltd. It started by developing for various 8-bit systems, such as the Acorn Atom and BBC Micro. The company was founded in 1981 by Charles Moir. It has developed software for a variety of computer platforms, in chronological order: the Acorn Atom, BBC Micro, Z88, Atari ST, Acorn Archimedes, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and more recently web browser-based services. Xara is an international software company founded in 1981, with an HQ in Berlin and development office in Hemel Hempstead, UK.
