RPC - Not to show my age, but I do go back to the days when Microsoft'sfirst products for the Altair/IMSAI came out.It was my impression that the first tape-based MS BASIC was indeedcoded by Bill Gates himself, possibly assisted by Allen.It was my understanding that the first product where Gates was not thePrimary Geek, was the 8080 BASCOM BASIC compiler, ca. 1981, which wasdeveloped by J. Gordon Letwin, who Microsoft had recently pirated fromHeath.Letwin was also the primary architect of the original Microsoft OS/2(yes, it was originally a MS product) but I lost track of him sincethen, which was over 10 years ago. I assume that much of his OS/2 codewas reused in the W95 effort.It's my impression, but just a hunch, not verified, that Gates doeskeep aware of the technical details of the new products, but not atthe hardcore nuts and bolts level.Once a hacker, always a hacker. ;-)Good day JSW
