Thanks for the info, Michael. Haven't heard back from Unisys yet
ourselves but was wondering whether the other shoe would drop or not
(sounds like it will). I'm assuming your questionairre responses were
of the 'we have no interest in turning a profit off of LZW in IDL'
variety?

Has anybody successfully gotten a freebie Unisys agreement?
