First of all this is not about guessing. We are analysing the existing
notice/reference and build up reasonable argumentation for coming to a
conclusion.

Secondly, as I told you in a previous reply in this very same thread, the
authorship is unclear as the code and the notice goes back to 2.3.17,
i.e. Sept. 1999. I've already did the detective work to figure out who the
original author is and where he's reachable. I just did not come around to
contact him because I took the liberty to take a few days off.

Thanks,

	tglx
