No, no...from what I remember from back when I was using Revelation, it was just five guys who left to form the company (IBM PC was coming soon, and they thought, "hey, we could port this to the 8088 architecture..."). But I heard this 15-or-so years ago, and even then it was anecdotal, so take it with a grain of salt....I could easily be misremembering.

That much I -do- know for sure. Still have a 5.25" disk of Revelation Version C, serial # in the low three digits. :-) Received on Tue Apr 27 2004 - 00:19:51 CEST
