  It turns out that this is not simple to do.  A simple
escrow arrangement won't necessarily work.  You need real good legal
advice if you want to count on obtaining schematics and source in
case of company failure.  (The way it works is that the bankruptcy
trustee of the company sees this escrow of schematics and source as
an asset of the company and so can't let it go to you!)
