Lest any readers of this group be unfamiliar with software licenses, let me warn you NOT TO TRY THIS. It is a major infraction of a Unix source license to copy Unix-provided code to an unlicensed machine. Since it costs at least $20,000 to get a source license, very few people may legally run UNIX code on their PCs. Violation of the license can get your company and yourself tied in legal knots for years. Just remember that AT&T has a small city of lawyers just waiting for cases like this. -- Andrew Klossner (decvax!tektronix!orca!andrew) [UUCP] (orca!andrew.tektronix@rand-relay) [ARPA]
