Does this intel package (page 139 Jan 1991 BYTE) mean that companies
like PharLap will soon bite the dust. The advertisement for the
Intel package says that no royalties need be paid for use of the
dos extender (ie when selling your program that uses intel's dos
extender). Since PharLap and other makers of dos extenders charge
royalties for every program you sell that uses their dos extender,
why would anyone now use their's.
