Oh, don't feel bad. I even tried to read IBM complaint filed with the court but I'm still clueless. Here are a few points which my confused mind got out of it ( though still no clarity ). * PSI got a clone out while we did all the R&D. ( Is that illegal ? Shouldn't they have sued IBM PC clone makers ? ) * PSI system may not meet RSA requirement tarnishing OUR good name. ( Why should their bad product tarnish your good name ? ) * As for patents I just looked into one about their patented rounding method. I don't think they are claiming that ANY rounding method is theirs, only the efficient one that they came up with. In this case PSI would be infringing only if they are using IBM's patented algorithm. But are they? Hope somebody will clarify it someday. Moreover it's all moot without IBM "crown jewel" software.

Then why does IBM need to sue PSI? Like, they can create all the emulator they want, but if IBM doesn't give them DB2 for example then it's useless, no? > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
