Well, I guess UPS have been forging the 'From: IBM, 1124 Northside Pkwy,
Atlanta GA 30327" fields on the next-day airpacks I have been receiving
with VA C++ and VA Smalltalk inside.

There was a ten page contract involving mutual respect for intellectual
property and an obligation to write to the Visual Age interface 
specifications. You must also use your best efforts to develop and
market the product. The other party calls itself 'IBM Software Solutions
Division' and is said to be located in the same Research Triangle Park 
where I have previously known the real IBM to reside.
