When this history comes up I wonder that in order to avoid legal issues the remaining unchanged and I guess some core parts were re-written at Berkeley and so were all the changes good and could/should? any of the AT&T original code be re-considered today if any legal threat has subsided/expired? Of course things being built upon them may carry much more weight. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
