I just got my new release of the C86 compiler. In Appendix A, there
is C code written to do interrupt driven communications. The
"author" claims to be one Bill Hohensee from Microcomputer Systems
Lab. Well, on scanning the code, I recognized it as the code *I* wrote
and posted to Usenet about a year ago. The bum didn't even change
most of the variable names or comments! What really galled me was the
last sentence in his opening comment:

   This code benefits greatly from the help of Computer Innovations
   staff, and Mr. Bob Kuphal.

I don't know how much help those guys could have been, since the code
worked as sent! The fact that this is my code is not in doubt (have
you seen it yet, Tim? Care to comment?). Most of the changes
made to the code were cosmetic.

If credit must go to someone, I don't see why it needs to go to this 
Bill creep. I would appreciate it if those of you who get the C86
update will inform C86 of this pilferage!

Thanks,
Bob Starr @ Shell Development
