Thanks for the heads up, Kat. I guess the terms also allow MS to claim
ownership of any program whose code I include in a posting to this list,
for, say, help with debugging.

I think it's time for a nationwide boycott of Microsoft products.
Letters to Congress-people would help, too.

As  for me, give me Unix or give me ... err...., never mind.

(From a once-ardent-supporter of Microsoft, whose back cannot take this last
straw.)
