Lines: 12 IBM has been *SAYING* for quite some time that they intend to protect their intellectual property rights, and telling people not to do so. What they haven't been doing, until now, is demanding and suing. But IBM is not a clever company, and they have covered their ass. The people who did violate IBM patents and copyrights did so by taking a gamble that they wouldn't be sued, and so far they were winning. So far, but that's business. -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. -- Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
