Novell's Reply in Support of its Motion for SJ in WordPerfect antitrust litigation

Novell has filed its Reply [PDF] in support of its Motion for Summary Judgment in Novell v. Microsoft, the antitrust litigation in Maryland regarding WordPerfect. Technically, it's Novell's Reply in Support of its Motion for Summary Judgment and Opposition to Microsoft's Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment. Here's that Cross Motion and here's Microsoft's Opposition [PDF] to Novell's motion. I'm sure you recall the mountain of exhibits both parties filed. [Microsoft's; Novell's.] It's complex in that both have filed summary judgment motions, and then Microsoft filed a cross motion in response to Novell's motion. But the themes are not complicated. Microsoft would like the court to accept its claim that Novell can't sue Microsoft over WordPerfect, that it sold its claims to Caldera, which then sued Microsoft and won a huge settlement, and in effect Microsoft is saying the Novell already got paid for any damage done, since it got a cut of the settlement.
Before we get to Novell's rebuttal, I wanted to highlight something. You'll never guess what one of the exhibits is: the email [PDF] from Bill Gates, subject line "Shell plans - iShellBrowser", that we found here also in doing our searchable collection of Comes v. Microsoft exhibits, a project that we are still working. It is Exhibit 46 [PDF] in the Novell v. Microsoft litigation now.
Please continue to help out with the Comes collection, so we can finish this project. As you can see, it's very worthwhile working to make the collection searchable, and there may be other nuggets hidden in the collection.

ipx_cmd

IPX_CMD(8)						      System Manager's Manual							IPX_CMD(8)

NAME

       ipx_cmd - bridge between Novell's SCMD driver and local IPX network

SYNOPSIS

       ipx_cmd -A server name [ -l local interface name ]

DESCRIPTION

       ipx_cmd moves packets from tapN to server and vice versa.  It is something like IPX Tunnel, but it uses Novell Netware 5 server Compatibil-
       ity Mode Driver (AKA Migration Agent) on the other end of wire. You must first configure your kernel tapN device with IPX EthernetII  frame
       and with network number set up on server (you can use kernel autodetection).

OPTIONS

       -A server name
	      This is IP name of compatibility mode server. You can use DNS name or dotted quad to specify server address.

       -l local interface name
	      This allows you to specify, which of your IP addresses should be used as IP address of client side of CMD driver. You must configure
	      your tapN device with hardware address 7E:01:AA:BB:CC:DD, where AA:BB:CC:DD is your IP address in hexa.

EXAMPLE

       If you are on server platan.vc.cvut.cz (147.32.240.81) and your migration agent runs on server boris.vc.cvut.cz,  you  can  configure  your
       system with:

	  insmod ethertap
	  ifconfig tap0 hw ether 7E:01:93:20:F0:51 up
	  ipx_interface add -p tap0 EtherII
	  ipx_cmd -A boris.vc.cvut.cz -l 147.32.240.81 &

BUGS

       This program was written to satisfy my own needs and should be really improved.	At least it should configure tap interface itself.
