It applies to patents. Unisys has never actually gone to court over lzw. Adobe and other big companies settled with undisclosed terms. The rest of the industry just quietly followed along. So the LZW patent hasn't ever really been challenged. > Great PR stunt, would give mandrake some good press! Yeah note all the publicity that Lindows has received after getting sued for trademark infringement of Windows. They are still around. Microsoft is getting nowhere with their prosecution of the case. And now evertime mainstream (meaning not just computer publications) press mentions Linux they mention Lindows. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "If you're not making any mistakes, you're flat out not trying hard enough." - Jim Nichols
