Based on Mark Weiser's previous version, he called the program "vc". 'vc' is a registered trademark of Software Innovations, Inc. for our UNIX(R) spreadsheet. We've been selling our spreadsheet under that name for 5 years now. The software has no relationship to what was originally posted to USENET or to any other public domain software. To all you readers of net.sources, please don't pass around that public domain spreadsheet and call it "vc". When Jim Gosling first released the spreadsheet software, it was named "sc", for spreadsheet calculator. I think a good name for this new incarnation would be "sc2" (or"sc3" if you want to count Mark Weiser's version). To all our customers who read net.sources, please don't think the recent posting has anything to do with the product you bought. Please don't call with questions about it and please don't think that "vc" is now in the public domain. -David Dick usenet: decvax!sii!drd BIX: drdick MCImail: software, 266-6086 UNIX is a registered trademark of ATT vc is a registered trademark of Software Innovations, Inc.
