'''Optimized Systems Software''' ('''OSS''') was a company that produced [[disk operating system]]s, [[programming language]]s with integrated development environments, and applications primarily for the [[Atari 8-bit family]] of home computers. The founders of OSS previously developed [[Atari DOS]], [[Atari BASIC]], and the [[Atari Assembler Editor]] for [[Atari, Inc.]], and many OSS products are substantially improved versions. {{nowrap|OS A+}} and [[DOS XL]] are based on Atari DOS. [[BASIC A+]], BASIC XL, and BASIC XE are based on Atari BASIC. EASMD and [[MAC/65]], are modeled on the [[Atari Assembler Editor]]. [[Action! (programming language)|Action!]] is an [[ALGOL]]-inspired compiled programming language with an integrated full-screen editor. OSS also sold some software for the [[Apple II]].<ref name=finest/>

OSS transitioned to the [[Atari ST]] with Personal Pascal<ref name=ppmanual>{{cite web|title=Personal Pascal for the Atari ST Manual|url=https://archive.org/details/OSSPersonalPascal|website=archive.org}}</ref> and the [[Mac (computer)|Mac]] with Personal Prolog (which was also advertised for the Atari ST, but may not have been released). OSS was not as significant in those markets.
