[Info-vax] OT: EFF software patent busting & DEC CBT/CBI

[John Smith (not the one @ HP)]

Does anyone here remember the details of the Digital CBT/CBI courses 
available in the early/mid 1980's?

The USPTO issued a patent for CBT 
http://w2.eff.org/patent/wanted/patent.php?p=test
which seems to incorporate most of what I recall was already present in 
DEC's CBT offerings. The EFF is looking for information about prior art in 
order to fight this patent.

I seem to recollect that there were CBT's available for VMS system mangement 
and Fortran, maybe others.

I'd dig through my archives to confirm some of the details but I'm laid up 
with busted-up leg acquired during skiing  few weeks ago.
