FormFlow was the name of a line of electronic forms products initially created and sold by Delrina in the early- to mid-1990s.[1][2][3]
History
[edit]The first product in this line was PerForm, which was designed to work under GEM in DOS.[4] The PerForm PRO and FormFlow products that succeeded PerForm were designed to work on Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.1 respectively.[5] FormFlow later had native support for Windows 95 starting with version 2.0 in 1996.[6]
Delrina was bought by Symantec late in 1995,[6] and the electronic forms division was sold to JetForm in 1996.[7] JetForm, which later changed its name to Accelio, was in turn was bought by Adobe Systems,[8] and the electronic forms products were officially end-of-lifed in 2004.[9]
