Some recent flamage provided a wealth of misinformation and helpful but unsure information in the area of Software Patents. If this stuff interests you (and it should since it seems to be a new money making business ala DEC, Lotus, etc) check out the following book : Patent Protection for Computer Software (c) 1989 Michael Keplinger, Ronald Laurie Prentice Hall Law & Business (publishers) 910 Sylvan Ave, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632 (No ISBN number available) This has everything you need to understand what is patentable in the U.S. -- --Chuck McManis Sun Microsystems uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: <none> Internet: cmcmanis@Eng.Sun.COM These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
