Another user group posted a link to info on the law suit, and there was a link for the patent info. This info seems to be part of the info which FS provided in order to obtain the patent. Its pretty interesting isn't it? But I'm not a programmer so it's a little hard to follow for me. I provided it hoping that one of the programmers might perhaps be able to use it to help answer my questions about placemarkers.
