1. Re: recent postings about copyrights et cetera, can someone tell me how to get a copy of a U.S. patent, if one has the patent number? Apparently you send $1.50 somewhere, presumably in D.C.. Does anyone out there have the exact address? And how long it might take? 2. According to recent item by the FSF in Dr. Dobb's, about 2,000 software patents have been granted since 1980. Has anyone on the net started a list of these? DISCLAIMER - The above is for my own personal interest. I have no direct involvment or input whatsoever in any pending litigation in the software industry. If you think otherwise, you've obviously confused me with someone who wears a tie! :-) Tom Rombouts Torrance 'Tater tomr@ashtate.A-T.com
