A friend and I got in a massive argument over who wrote the CP/M operating
system.  He claimed that it was "DEC" but I stated that it was DRI.  I
assumed all along that:

1.  CP/M was written by Gary Kildall.
2.  CP/M was written by DRI
3.  DRI is NOT related to DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation)

If I am in err, pleae let me know.
