iirc they didn't. Computer Vision did a sort of reverse buyout, taking Prime's CAD business with it. INFORMATION was sold to Vmark, and the hardware business was sold to ?Pericom? That might be why Pr1mos has ended up in copyright limbo. There was a "White Knight" involved in this, so I'm guessing that the breakup and sale was along the lines of "PI to Vmark, software to Computer Vision, and hardware and support to this other company". With the result that it wasn't clearly specified who got the copyrights to Pr1mos and now nobody can do much with it because they don't know who actually owns it... > > Enquiring minds want to know > Well, I might not be much good at enlightening, but I was around as a customer when it all happened ...
