I wouldn't be surprised if there were an uprising in the
DECUS^H^H^H^H^HEnCompass lines in the next few days. All I can say is: burn
them at the stakes!
It seems that whatever authority is investigating Microsoft's activities
should take a healthy interest in Intel's behaviour in this question.
Thank you, Compaq, for being true to your clone manufacturer roots and making
the world a less interesting place!

There is also a high quality Fortran from DEC for our engineers, and of course
the whole C and LISP programming environments for CS students and other
software developers, plus a set of powerful text manipulation utilities like
sed, grep, awk, lex, and yacc, whose functions should be obvious from their
names.
