What is interesting is that US companies aren't piping this work into their European and Canadian arms, since cooperation can take place there. That should side-step the American monopoly restrictions. We have a "Combines Act" in Canada, but that only pertains to activity in the market; research is exempt. However, the over-riding unwillingness to cooperate in the home office is probably a large reason why the Allied advantage is not being taken advantage of. gld -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ je me souviens ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gary L.
