Did you know that in a recent issue of Computer Systems News there was an
article stating that AT&T and Custom Software Systems had settled their suit
out of court?  WHAT SUIT?

The suit AT&T brought against CSS for UNIX source code violations in CSS'
iimplementation of DOS vi.  The article stated terms of the settlement were
that CSS would no longer produce vi or any UNIX-related software.  Since this
was what CSS did for a living, it may have effectively put them out of business.


Cheers!
