Funny you should ask. Groupe Bull of France (the folks who bought
Honeywell IS) has made an arrangement to buy ZDS from Zenith Corp.
The sale hasn't gone through yet; the desk clerk at our local Heathkit
store said it would likely be consummated around the new year. As
you may recall, Heathkit is part of ZDS. So Bull will now be in the
audio, test, weather, ham radio and miscellaneous equipment business
too.
No jokes about Multics kits, okay? Bad enough that a company named
"Bull" uses that name in an Anglophone country.
