So instead of asking, "What's with the copyright notice?" you go on some stupid rambling commentary about how "teh ebil" Microsoft is. I've yet to see an instance of MS claiming copyright on something they don't own. If you've got a specific citation, I'd love to see it. Note that "Search Groklaw" isn't a citation. g. -- Proud owner of F-15C 80-0007 http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of its kind. http://www.simpits.org/geneb - The Me-109F/X Project ScarletDME - The red hot Data Management Environment A Multi-Value database for the masses, not the classes. http://www.scarletdme.org - Get it _today_!
