David.... Reading carefully again I see :) Since the stated purpose of posting this is to make a Public disclosure to insure no patents to begin with, I rather dont see your point. :) Perhaps you overlooked the part where I say... "Note... The following amounts to Public Disclosure of an invention. True to style any one is free to open source develope the concept as they wish, but no patents can follow unless one devises a clear improvement on the basic idea." Cheers RicB Ric, You've really blown it. You now cannot take out a patent on your= idea...;-] "if you publish a method before patent filing, novelty is= violated and you can get no patent" Bernie Or maybe this isn't considered publishing?
