It was developped by AT&T. Did they release it as free software, but then revoke their free license. If so how did they take it back later. Is it possible to retract a license like that? If they didn't why did the BSD's have to get rid of all AT&T code. Bijan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
