Together Allyn and Oelman spend six months a year abroad boosting foreign sales (in 100 countries), which now account for 40% of the company's business. Last week Allyn reported that N.C.R. sales, which have increased from $40 million to $340 million under his regime, hit a record of $87 million in the first quarter...
