OSS was best known for their enhanced versions of [[Atari DOS]] (OS A+, then DOS XL), [[Atari BASIC]] (first [[BASIC A+]], then BASIC XL, and BASIC XE), and the [[Atari Assembler Editor]] (EASMD, then [[MAC/65]] assembler), bothall of which arewere muchsubstantially fasterimproved thanover Atari's products, andas well as the [[Action!
