    EV> Your talking about patents reminded me again of the   
    EV> Academic Language called BASIC being Patented (or   
    EV> Copyrighted??) by two people.   
      
    That would have been a copyright back then. However, that would   
    only stop people from copying *THEIR* version of basic. Lots of   
    other versions.
