The extreme case was the death of visicalc to Lotus 1-2-3. it wasn't because of any program edger or feature; it was that visicalc refused to make it installable on hard disk, as they would lose their floppy-based copy protection . . . (most of these used a deliberate "flaw" that would cause an error that could be checked; many Apple ][ schemes wrote on half-tracks, and I think it was visicalc that burned holes in the media with lasers at specified points] -- Dr. Richard E.
