Does that include IAS - - the one thing I really want

Lots of my local newspapers ran it... Especially for classified
advertising.
As far as I am aware, IAS was not included in the sale of PDP-11
software from DEC to Mentec.
So I guess IAS is still fully under HPE control. But good luck finding
anyone in there who even knows about it...

??? I believe most (all?) of the PDP-11 OSs are, or at least were a few
years ago, owned by David Carroll.? I don't know what he plans to do
with it all, if anything.
The situation is murky. Yes, XX2247 "owns" most PDP-11 OS and software.
However, there are clauses in the contracts that give HP (HPE?) control
over things still... So at the moment, there is not much of anything
XX2247 can do.
