Maybe they meant the IBM patent on LZW :-) Have you seen http://cloanto.com/users/mcb/19950127giflzw.html ? ("The GIF Controversy: A Software Developer's Perspective") It has a paragraph about this. Apparently LZW has been patented multiple times, a tribute to the skill and thoroughness of the patent office. Richard Braakman
