An awful lot of source code gets lost in the process of Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation or acquisition by another firm. In the latter case, the acquiring firm is interested mostly in the customer base and doesn't much care about existing products, which inevitably end up in the dumpster. In the case of bankruptcy, I've never seen an acution where source code was part of the assets being sold. For the first product I did for a 5150 PC, I used a schematic capture package called Schema by Omation. Very nice for the time, particuarly with Hercules graphics. As I understand things, Omation was acquired by Accel (makers of TangoPCB) and Schema disappeared. Well, now I've got a floppy with my work that might as well be in Linear B. Cheers, Chuck
