Off-hand (not being a lawyer) I didn't see anything that would stop me from taking the RFC and creating my own brand of NFS for Computer 'X'. Is there something that keeps me from writing my own NFS? Distributing it or selling it? If so what and why? Thanks in advance Dana Bourgeois @ cup.portal.com "Be EXCELLENT to each other!" Bob and Ted's Great Adventure.
