FAT file system now licensed by MS ?

This list {may} be the best source of information
to counter a claim made by MS, direct or implied,
that it created FAT. If so, we should compile a single
statement of fact and submit it to the public press,
using the care this matter deserves.

I *don't* know the facts of the case, but I could take
a coordinated effort from the list and submit it to my
local paper with cover letters, adding any other
required items, phone-calls, and so on.
By the way, my local paper is the New York Times.

Microsoft people aren't losers, they're winners who
are trying to re-write history in their own interest as
winners tend to do. When they're wrong, bold faced
or otherwise, they must be contested. Where else
are the facts but on this list?

Best Wishes,
John A.
