	Just a little point of interest..

	One of the first "look and feel" lawsuits to be settled (or to
be won by the plaintiff at least) was the maker of Print Shop 
suing the maker of Print Master..

	The two programs acted virtually identically in terms of 
orderings and looks of the screens, and the Print Shop people won.

	Please correct me if I have anything wrong here. I actually feel
that I do have something slightly wrong, but I don't know what, and I'd
appreciate being corrected.
