There was also the disk-compression software,Stacker. Ms offered to allow the developer/company to add it to MS-DOS 6 without paying them royalties. For some reason they refused, Ms put in double-space - & got sued. had to withdraw 6.0, and replace it with 6.1 without compression, had to pay out USD 120 million. Ms also had the nerve to counter-sue and won about USD 20M because Stac reverse-engineered double-space to find the infringements, and therby broke trade agreements. Paul M
