I'm hoping I can talk sense into the inventors. Tim Foster has expressed sane views on software patents in the past, that is, they should cover really innovative things and not overly broad things like Amazon's one-click. Then again, who knows how much of this the inventors actually control and how much is owned by Sun. Anyhow, its worth investigating now than getting sued later. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern Just call me 'Moron Sugar'. http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp05182002.shtml
