NuMega Technologies (or NuMega) was a software company founded in 1987 by Frank Grossman and Jim Moskun in Nashua, New Hampshire, USA.
The company developed Kernel mode debugger, now SoftICE, for DOS and the Windows NT family.[1]
Mark Russinovich started his career at Nu-Mega co-writing with Bryce Cogswell NTFSDOS, Filemon and RegMon.[1]
In December 1997 the company was acquired by Compuware, when it became the NuMega Lab of Compuware.[2]
Less than a year after its move to Merrimack, the development lab was effectively shut down on 11 June 2007.[3]
In June 2009, Compuware sold the former NuMega products to a UK-based firm named Micro Focus.
