His answer was that the marketing agreements with foreign distributors are the reason for the labeling, not software technology. Supposedly their PC products are labeled the same way for the same reason. Ashton-Tate's foreign distributors have "exclusive" rights to the software in their designated territories. Those of you familiar with the recording industry will recognize similar arrangements. Chuck
