Mentec sold that stuff to another company, I don't
recall their name
right now. I think they have no idea of what it is.
The company's name is XX2247, and they know precisely what it is. We
have a license from them for the PDP-11 software which Digital sold to
Mentec. (Media are a different matter. We're on our own for that part.)
The principals in XX2247 are well known in the PDP-11 arena.
