        How many of you are working on OS's that include compress in
the distribution?

        I'm using HPUX 6.5 and all of the man pages are delivered
compressed. You think Unisys is going to take on HP (or Sun, or
anybody else) before they try for FSF?

        By the way, since ATT owns a license, anyone who holds an ATT
Unix license can use compress legally, right? ie if company X pays for
the license to incorporate patented object Y in product Z, then
legitimate users of Z have noting to fear, right?
