Is it time to boycott Lotus now that they have won the case
against Paperback Software?  How do you all feel about using

Does anyone know whether this is likely to have an effect on Borland's
Quattro Pro (while we're on the subject of better products at reasonable
prices)? I think I recall reading about their being the targets of a suit
for providing 1-2-3 compatible menus.
