great abandonware for your classic PC

Zane, I see lots of stuff there that are definitely pretty dead. Also not sure how badly the others are going to run you down for grabbing an obsolete product. Lattice C for example, Lattice is definitely out of business, as well as Digital Research. Microsoft has put MASM in the public domain quite a while ago. I know, your going to tell me the rights were purchased by some other company in the chain, so go review the SCO/Novel debacle. We can always find plenty of lawyers here in the USA to argue over copyrights. I am not aware of any hobbyist with no comercial gain being bit by these tactics. Anybody here, that blows some eproms from binaries on the web to bring a machine back to life is probably also in violation of copyright. Reminds me of the Compaq bios, the reason it worked, is IBM apps peeked into the bios locations for the "Copyright IBM' string, and if found, executed. The Compaq guys put that string in the exact same location, but it was "None of this code is Copyright IBM" Randy _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail has tools for the New Busy.
