Just because something is so important and useful that everyone should have it doesn't mean it can't be patented. In fact, this is exactly the type of item patent laws are meant to protect. What they don't protect is techniques or products that perform a function that would be "obvious to one skilled in the art" (to paraphrase). I believe the patent on the use of CRT displays for displaying characters generated by raster scanning techniques is still in force. -- v v sssss|| joseph hall || 201-1D Hampton Lee Court v v s s || jnh@ece-csc.ncsu.edu (Internet) || Cary, NC 27511 v sss || joseph@ece007.ncsu.edu (Try this one first) -----------|| Standard disclaimers and all that . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
