I was the CAD system admin at Armor/KONE elevators from the mid 80s to mid 90s. Vertex ran on X-Windows on UNIX workstations and it ran well.
I'm trying to find the name of the company that made the software. I remember it was pronounced like
UUstechniquea

[Kai Vikstedt]

Hi,
The company name at those days was Lujuustekniikka and today Vertex Systems (https://www.vertex.com/).
I have used their 2D software for nearly 30 years and am still belonging to big fans of it - unfortunately no support since W10 introduction.
