Give the man a >> little credit for at least good business judgment. It is obvious that these were not supposed to be found....but this is what many hackers do. They hack...and find things that are not meant to be found. What you don't know can hurt you. Also, how about the Mac code found in windows a little while back which brought a lawsuit against Mircsoft which was settled out of court? And I cannot wait till someone owns the Amiga technology again here in the near future, because Win95 is highly suspect of violating several patents held by Commodore, and it would not suprise me if there was stolen code from the Amiga OS in Windows95 as well! Microsoft are not above anything...they just hope they can get away with it, and they have been caught many times and IMHO will be caught many more times in the future...especially with the Commodore patents and possible violations of the AmigaOS which has done true pre-emptive multitasking since 1985! >Just as recently as last year, a famous national server had this very same >problem didn't they?
