History[02][03][04]


Cornerstone was created in 1985 by Infocom, a software company that primarily sold video games. The key developers of Cornerstone were Brian Berkowitz and Richard Ilson, who joined Infocom to build its first database software. It was neither a derivative system, nor did it stem from an academic project. Cornerstone has not gone through any name changes. Infocom was acquired by Activision in 1986, and when Cornerstone was closed down in 1989, it had only sold about 10,000 copies.
