Hi Wayland

I don't know if you know this but the guy who sold MS-DOS to Microsoft
ended up in court back in the early 1980's in which he admitted to "Low
level copying" of the CP/M  code which is owned by Digital...

In the book Accidental Empires by Robert Craingely that was published
back in 1990 he argues that if Digital were not so slack, not so laid
back they could of been were Microsoft is today!
