Message-ID: <986@ihuxq.UUCP> Date: Fri, 8-Jun-84 09:34:30 EDT Article-I.D.: ihuxq.986 Posted: Fri Jun 8 09:34:30 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 9-Jun-84 07:46:55 EDT References: <542@sri-arpa.UUCP> Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 20How can Irv Hoffman copyright the mdm7xx programs. As I understand it the latest mdm740 is based upon the original work of Ward Christensen. Is Hoffman going to split his profits with Ward?? Also, how did Irv Hoffman get sole possension of the source code to mdm7xx?? I for one, will not buy Hoffman's version of mdm7xx even though I have been using the mdm7xx programs for years. BTW, if anyone has the source to mdm740 and wishes it translated to the Zilog mnemonics then I have a program called makez80 which does the translation.(A little plug for my program,he he he). Heres to hoping that public domain programs remain public. -- Richard Covert AT&T Bell Laboratories ...ihnp4!ihuxq!covert (312) 979-7488
