Thanks for setting us all straight on this one. Gil is of course
correct - it is a trademark, not a copyright. The copyright would
apply to my source code.

I think you are again correct - it probably will be a long time before
we stop referring to the program as TR as well.
Just to show you how crazy it can be with big companies, I just got
a memo here at Intel saying that we had to remove pens from the
service award menu. Why? Because ink is considered a potentially
toxic chemical and Intel doesn't want to be on the "list" of people
who export toxic chemicals. Therefore, we can be seen sending a
ball point pen to some guy outside of the USA...
And I am not making that up (unlike some of my previous posts).
