Data General software agreement pre-announcement (Merry Christmas)

G'day DG legacy preservation fans -

After 9+ years of negotiations, Wild Hare has secured an agreement with Data
General to recover, archive and release Data General 16-bit and some 32-bit
software for educational and non-commercial purposes.  A official
announcement will be made next month, but I wanted to let list members know
that sometimes good things can happen.

A special thanks is extended to the amazing William Donzelli, and to the
quick-footed Carl Friend, who made the physical tape rescue in Massachusetts
possible.  Thanks also to the legal and technical folk at EMC (Data General)
who finally made this a legal reality - and who might prefer annonymity at
this point.

Details will be posted in a few weeks, but I wanted to share this bit of
Merry Christmas for DG fans.
