	While agreeing with your basic point about AT&T's rights to
sell as little or as much of UNIX as they wish, I don't think your
point here is valid.  Bear in mind that Ron Natalie was quoting
Ritchie and Thompson.  If the designers of CP/M had claimed that "C"
was a part of it, I think you would be justified in believing them.
