Intelligent Micro Software Ltd. (IMS) of [[Thatcham]], UK, acquired a license to further develop Multiuser DOS from Novell in 1994 and renamed their product REAL/32 in 1995.<ref name="Pontin_1995_IMS"/>

Similar to [[FlexOS]]/[[4690 Operating System|4690 OS]] before, IBM in 1995 licensed REAL/32 7.50 to bundle it with their 4695 POS terminals.<ref name="Pontin_1995_IMS"/>{{clarify|date=September 2018|reason=Not clear if this replaces FlexOS 386 on these systems, or if merely upgrades some parts of FlexOS from REAL/32.}}
