   Yeah, the 2 at Sydtrug sound about right. If i remember correctly, there   
   were a few like that there. They probably had bought all of the software, so   
   they thought is was theirs.   
      
   At for GD, check on asic for the company name Dubios & McNamara. It is now   
   closed (around 98-2000 I think). It was put into recievership because of   
   stolen software (mine, actually), by my present business partner.   
      
   The *small* legal matter is in the Federal court, where the software he   
   stole from my present business partner (my software that was licenced to   
   him), was taken to QLD, a new company set up, and the contracts that my   
   business partner had were continued. This meant that no money was coming to   
   either the Author (me), or the licensee. We are presently being sued by this   
   other company, who says that they own the rights to my software. Pretty   
   funny when you look at it actually. The same company screwed over GD as   
   well, and are now suing him over the same software (but they recon they own   
   it). I wrote it in 92, their company didn't start till 98 (or 2000, or 2002,   
   still trying to unravel their compnay tree), but they own it. And the owner   
   used to use my software at a company he worked at in 93/94. AHHHHHH.   
      
   Well, you did ask ;-)
