It seems, after reading the letter that was scanned and posted on the timpanogas web site, that they've simply said no to some request that made of them. And further told you they think they can win should you pursue legal action. I admit, I do have a soft spot for Netware as it was my "baby" network but I'm not an employee of Novell or major fan today. It's just too expensive. Novell just doesn't seem to be able to adapt to current conditions today. Too bad as their server is much better than anything coming out of Redmond. All of that not withstanding, I don't think you're doing yourself or us any good by making what seem to be exagerated claims. Just my 2 cents worth.  "Jeff V.
