I assume you mean Rob Landley and Toybox. (But
I don't have any love for Windows; would rather use dos.
One way is to rewrite xtalk; the other is to build or buy a
converter - usb to RS232 and back.
One reason dos software is so difficult to make is because
you don't have the special commands needed. In the very
old days you could get them from

It has become a complex world. Some people like me
get really confused by it.
Do you know anything about Gif and LZW; I understand
that are now free to use any time you want?
If they were copyrights then I would think they would
still be covered but if they were patents they could be free
by now.
Great explaination.
Maybe you should post it on your web site.
I think maybe software should get a new catagory.
Books and music can last for centuries.
Software can have a very short lifespan.
Software is often abadoned completely and the
law should be changed to reflect this.

I know that - just making fun of it
.
But if you did copyright an invention or drug by description,
then when someone applied for a patend they'd have
to use that description to apply and you could sue them
for copyright violation for using your matterial.
Just humor.

Thank you
This should be a quiz show question.
I wonder how many could answer it.

Then there are Patents.
At first glance, a patent

That's not how Copyright works. Please use Google.

I read your link, very eye opening. Very few people
are aware of this. I once paid a lawyer $30 to explain
copyrights to me. Even he got it wrong - very wrong.
By the way I'm a horrible speller, always have been.
If I was a drug copany or inventor; I'd try to get a copyright
rather then a patent.

Also why don't they do patents the same way.
Then is there anything out there that is public domain.

It has to have a copywrite on it so why didn't
the office find one; it seems a simple job.
Their reply was that they couldn't find anything,
How is that possibl
Dont give them any ideas please.

Read your supplied link; your dead right.
Either the law changed or someone in
the copywrite office didn't do their job. They
should have had a record of it even if
it expired. Anything before Jan 1 1978 does
have to be renewed or else.
I think it's unfair that copywrites last for so long
