That was a patent issue and has nothing to do with copyright. People are always confusing the various forms of intellectual property, patents, copyrights and trademarks. In some ways they are similar, but each has its own rules and regulations. Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
