The author and main editor of the article appears to have a WP:COI. Please see this LinkedIn page. There are no reviews or third-party references to the subject software, nor is there any assertion of notability.

Submitting through AfD instead of speedy so (a) if it is in fact notable, it has a chance; but (b) if it isn't, it won't be recreated as much spam is. Bongomatic (talk) 09:58, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. Of course if you only search the last month of Google News for 20 year old software you will get no hits. Selecting "all dates" finds plenty of potential sources . Google Books also finds a respectable amount of coverage . Phil Bridger (talk) 15:26, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Mentions in books linked above are in passing (copyright notices and mentions of people that worked there). Most news hits are PR releases and job openings. Can you find anything substantial? VG &#x260E; 15:38, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 'Keep per Phil Bridger, sources are there, expand using what sources indicate; also I see no COI issues presently. -- Banj e  b oi   17:17, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, doesn't seem to meet WP:CORP. Stifle (talk) 20:14, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
