DUQN bought the company that owned the code that became part of MIM. Around 1985 because I started work for them in 1986 and the products were being merged/expanded at that time. That deal and several others were enhanced because of pending changes in tax laws. (TPX? STX? NetSpy?) The stock offerings to support that deal led to ownership by venture capitalists that drove the next deal. Then QUQN merged w/Morino to become Legent which was bought by CA in August 1995. ----------------------------------------- The information contained in this communication (including any attachments hereto) is confidential and is intended solely for the personal and confidential use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
