    about compiling the BASIC IsNot operator, Patent Application 20040230959.

    What's this? What are they trying to protect? Is something
    like this on the way for Ada?
     Interesting, everyone with an interest in a software exchange
    with a US resident/whatever will have to consider whether they
    can use comparison operators without being US-charged, patent
    (im)pending.
