The Applied Microsystems Corporation, a software developer whose shares have fallen 84 percent in the last year, said yesterday that it would liquidate the company after failing to get financing to develop new products. The feedback the company received from potential financing sources has led it to conclude that liquidation is a ''better alternative,'' Applied Microsystems said in a news release. The liquidation of the company requires shareholders' approval, the company said. Last month, Applied Microsystems sold part of its business to a Motorola Inc. subsidiary. It had planned to focus on developing its Libra Networks hardware and software products for corporate data centers, it said. Shares of Applied Microsystems rose 4 cents, to 21 cents. The news was released after the close of regular trading.
