HOWEVER, I always get the impression that vendors usually don't mind at all if you pass on the information revealed under non-disclosure. By having you sign an agreement, they are basically just covering their asses in case they don't/can't ship as planned so that no customer or competitor can sue them on the basis of whatever information was revealed. -- Robert Marti Phone: +41 1 256 52 36 Institut fur Informationssysteme ETH-Zentrum CSNET/ARPA: marti%inf.ethz.ch@relay.cs.net CH-8092 Zurich, Switzerland UUCP: ...uunet!mcvax!ethz!marti
