Dyer Computer Consulting, Cambridge MA Lines: 10 Interesting that this guy works at Ashton-Tate, eh? I can't imagine a less enforceable regulation that this so-called prohibition against reselling licensed software. As long as the seller transfers all copies and the manual to the purchaser, I see nothing wrong with it, and trying to exercise such a claimed right on the part of Ashton-Tate would NEVER stand up in court in a situation involving individual consumers. -- Steve Dyer dyer@harvard.harvard.edu dyer@spdcc.COM aka {ihnp4,harvard,linus,ima,bbn,m2c}!spdcc!dyer
