I assume it's still copyrighted I assume...and I doubt the current copyright owner would bother to enforce their rights to it. By the way - why do people assume that people would not want to protect their rights? This whole attitude scares me a little. In this case, it's because the rights are to a decades-old OS that is viewed by the business world as being nothing more than a long-dead historical curiosity. We know it's awesome, and we understand why, but let's put it this way...Windows is fast disappearing, and it's not exactly TOPS-10/20 that's killing it. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
