Hi,
To my own laughter and surprise, Microsoft now claims to have the
rights to the FAT file system, and intends to execute on a licensing
program for it, with obvious results.
Wasnt FAT done (in crude format) by MP/M or CP/M86 already *before*
Microsoft? They claim it was developed by them in 1976, but I seem
to recall it being mentioned before that, around 1974-ish or so,
by homebrew people (such as CP/M et al.) ??
--f (who runs FAT on his own PDP-11 OS ;-)
