I believe Meridian only marketed (and sublicensed) LAT from DEC, with
DEC being its owner. DEC did most of its internal LAT code development,
and Meridian did most of the 'external' versions, e.g. the stuff in
PC-LAT, Cisco IOS's LAT code, and probably most others, given the
cost of licensing it... twas cheaper to let them do it than to get
your own license and do it... :)
