Mr. Shell,

I am Bill Hohensee.  I suppose that I am getting the credit for the
RS232 code in an appendix to a C86 newsletter.  Yes, the code I
submitted to Computer Innovations did derive *heavily* from previous
work -- this is clearly documented in the code.  But as far as I knew,
that work came from a Mr. Bob Kuphal working for AT&T in Napier.  When
I got a simple terminal program working the Tech people at CI asked me
to submit it for the benefit of others who, CI suggested, had been
calling for such.  Ok, as long as credit went where it was deserved --
Mr. Bob Kuphal and the help offered by the people at CI.

If you want credit, take it.  The submission to CI was not meant to
deprive you of special rewards -- it is public domain -- was your
original submission copyrighted?
