You're right (probably). There's some info on the web, but on further research it's unreliable. http://www.jmusheneaux.com/9000ee.htm http://www.aaxnet.com/topics/msinc.html#dr http://www.joewein.de/dri.html http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Gary_Kildall http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/214196_paterson02.html They alternately say DR almost sued and settle out of court, and DR did sue and won. DR's Kildall's memoirs apparently have only animosity for MS. > Whether anti-trust laws are wrong or not is another conversation. I throw my hands up in exasperation. All along I've thought that that *was* the conversation. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
