Still needs more work.. but not worth talking here.. It got me wondering about how all of this stuff happened, especially the little red guy we all love, Chuck.. well.. ok, the deamon. So, I asked the man with the copyright, Kirk McKusick himself. Long story, he said, so he didn't feel like relating it, and one fateful day, he'd explain it all on his site. But, nonetheless, I'm still curious! So, if anyone out there knows the story.. do tell... Oh, he did say one intresting thing. I asked him which company tried to steal Chuck.. and here is what he said... "The nasty company was DEC of all places! They tried to expropriate the daemon for Ultrix. Luckily that got stopped." Kirk McKusick BTW.. if intrested.. pre-beta version of pic is at..
