I used to have a copy in %windir%\COMMAND, but that was before I nuked my
'doze partition for good and went 100% Linux. However, Google found a copy
with no problem: <http://www.go.dlr.de/fresh/pc/src/misc/pkz204g.exe>.
Ack, nevermind. I checked the PKWare website, and it seems that they
recently created a pure DOS 2.50 version (that uses the Win32 enhanced DOS
calls to get long filename information).

This is one unhappy fellow. Numerous attempts at patent enforcement
have recently been met with a spate of "prior disclosures" in the form
of GPL software. This no only nullifies the patent, but it puts
all prior royalties collected under that patent at risk in the form
of a class action lawsuit.
In addition, with Google and others providing USENET archives dating
back
to the mid 1980s, numerous patents are now being challenged based on
public disclosures in these forums.
Software patents have always been suspect, and the notion of creating
a 20 year "lock" on what amounts to a concept or idea (rather than the
specific expression of an idea or concept) has always been the
slippery
part of software patents.
Very few concepts are truly unique. Most have been published and
documented
for years before the patent is even applied for. The ideas have been
polished
and refined by hundreds of participants and any one of them could have
a legitimate claim and/or the ability to nullify the patent.
> This is what he said on open source software.

This is 1/2 true. Since the software itself can be freely
distributed,
the only way to add value is to provide some form of support. There
are
a number of companies such as IBM, LinuxCare, SuSE, and Red Hat who
provide
Service Level Agreements for Open Source software. They in turn
combine
source code familiarity with support from the product manager (Linus
would
be the product manager for Linux) to improve the delivery.
Conversely, not only does Microsoft limit their liability to the
purchase price of the software, but they have extensive qualifications
on their service level agreements. In most cases, even their 99.999%
uptime
guarantee has numerous configuration prerequisites, staffing
requirements,
and recovery expectations. To get 99.999% up-time, you have to have
dual
machines in cluster formation on RAID 1 or RAID 5 hard drive arrays,
and
even if each machine fails 20 times/day, the only downtime that counts
is
when all machines are down at the same time.
If you do have a situation where both machines fail at the same time,
the OEM (not Microsoft) promises to help you identify the causes
and/or
possible work-arounds. There is no guarantee that the errant code
will be fixed, no guarantee that any changes will be made, and not
even
a guarantee that you can get a refund. Furthermore, it is the OEM
that
assumes the risk, not Microsoft, since the OEM obligates itself to the
license and license fees related to the server.
Ironically, you are likely to have better support and lower risk with
Linux or UNIX than you would with Windows NT or Windows 2000.
> He really had nothing more to say on the subject.
He made a statement and wanted to avoid direct confrontation in the
matter.
It's probably a good idea to change the subject... very quickly.
Microsoft was very effective at handling 1 million calls a day,
logging
those calls and the procedural remedies and codifying it into Windows
3.0.

The fundamental difference between a republic and a democracy, that most
liberals seem to not understand, is this:
In a democracy, you only have whatever rights the majority gives you.
The will of the majority takes precedence over the rights of the individual.
In a republic, your rights are protected. In a republic, the rights of
the individual take precedence over the will of the majority.
This is why we have a Bill of Rights, something you will not find in any
socialist democracy's constitution. The only rights they have are the
rights the majority decides to bestow up on the subjects of that
country.
We are not subjects, we are citizens.

No erb, you are wrong. You fail to realize what the modern incarnation of
the term liberal is. The modern liberal is not a classical liberal like
Locke, Hobbs. Modern liberals are socialists. That is why there is such a
negative feeling towards the term liberal democracy. That is practiced in
Europe, and it is socialism.

When the state gets involved with social welfare programs, you have
socialism, which leads to fascism once the state gets involved in the means
of production/controls industry.

No erb, it is you who is showing ignorance/dishonesty. You are a socialist
and you have claimed the title liberal, but you are not liberal in the
fashion of Locke.
We go over this with you a couple of times a year. And each time you are
proven wrong. And you wonder why so called instructers like you get no
respect. Well we all you teach is revision and some misguided facts, you
deserve no respect. All you need to do is be honest. A liberal democracy is
socialism.
