I have a diff program that I wrote and I would like to release it. I am concerned that I might get into trouble since I did have access to the UNIX source when I wrote it, and I use a very similar algorithm. I must say that no one at any of the companies I have worked for ever said anything about trade secret agreements with AT&T. Most have had me sign an agreement with them, but not all have. Universities are very bad about this. I don't think any of the universities that my friends go to have had them sign any agreement. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Alan Fargusson Sun Microsystems alanf@sun.com ..!sun!alanf
