Just a little note about the patent files themselves. They are FULL of typos, spelling errors, formatting errors, etc. I'm pretty sure that they are just typed in by clerks. I suspect they are entered by hand based on a paper document supplied by the patent applicant. My point is that I don't think any conclusions can be reached based on the visual appearance of the patent - if so, they would ALL look suspect - 1/2 :-). It just blows me away that the USPTO can't afford a spelling checker. > Jeffrey Kegler, Independent UNIX Consultant, Algorists, Inc. > jeffrey@algor2.ALGORISTS.COM or uunet!algor2!jeffrey > 137 E Fremont AVE #122, Sunnyvale CA 94087 Mark -- cheeks@edsr.eds.com or ...uunet!edsr!cheeks
