...did anyone notice that the 'listings' as seen thru the terminator's
eyes were snippets of apple's old dos 3.3? i wonder if this constitutes
copyright infringement?

Did you also notice the code in COBOL and BASIC. I found the
idea extremely funny that a super sophisticated robot would be
using those languages. Did anyone happen to notice any other
languages they were using? Actually I thought that the
Terminator was a pretty good sf movie. The premise struck me
as being similar to one Fred Saberhagen used in one of his
Beserker stories 'Brother Assassin'.hsu@cvl.UUCP (Dave Hsu) (05/31/85)

The guy in the army jacket IS on the net. Freeze frames of course reveal the code to be some sort of set-up routine on the VTOC, but I suspected it was probably somebody else's DOS routines. And the much-touted COBOL only appeared in one sequence, am I right? -dave
