In exchange for Digital apologizing to Intel, Intel agreed to relieve
Digital of its money losing Hudson Plant.

Basically, Digital found a way to get rid of a money losing plant which
Compaq was not interested in by leveraging the fact that Intel had
stolen Alpha technologies years before.

DEC should have sued Intel well before that time. It is only because
Compaq had told Palmer to shed the chip making business (Compaq did't
want it) that Palmer suddently decided to pursue this matter.
