HIT and CLOU are a program package for word processing that was jointly developed by InterFace Computer GmbH and InterFace Connection GmbH, now InterFace AG , from 1983 onwards . For a long time it was the standard text system on Siemens Nixdorf computers under Sinix / reliantUnix and can also run on other Unix derivatives . CLOU also runs under Windows .
The program package was developed from 1983 in close cooperation with Siemens as a program for word processing under Sinix. There it replaced Microsoft Word 1.1.
Initially designed only as an 'electronic typewriter' with an integrated separating program and serial letter generator, the functionality was quickly expanded in the following versions:
- An office environment, the HIT MENU (called FIT), and functions for formatting and editing documents are added.
- From version 3, at the end of 1986, CLOU , a programming language ( 4GL ) for the automated creation of texts, becomes part of the program package.
- From version 3.1 CLOU contains an interface to SQL -capable databases.
- From version 4.0, proportional font is also supported.
- With version 5.0, from 1993, Langenscheidt dictionaries are used in eight European languages for spell checking.
- Today, CLOU / CS (Client-Server) enables work with UNIX and Windows servers and the generation of Microsoft Office , RTF and OpenDocument documents.
HIT / CLOU has been and is being used by many authorities, e.g. B. the Federal Employment Agency , the police of the states of Bavaria / North Rhine-Westphalia / Thuringia, but also in numerous companies in the private sector with a high volume of correspondence. One of the first major customers was the Gerling Group. Other large customers are or were, for example, ING-DiBa, Otto-Versand, City of Hamburg.
