All,
The first thing that needs to be done is to spin off AV. The best way to do this is spin it off to the shareholders. The shareholders own Compaq, they own AV. If the Company holds it's own stock it will get that many shares of AV. AV does no good inside Compaq compared to it's value as a separate entity. That's a fact, Jack.
If Compaq feels frisky it could create extra shares at an IPO and pocket the money. If it was really greedy it could create even more shares and maintain a larger stake in Compaq but this would be ill advised and seen as greed and serve to over dilute the stock.
What they want to happen, IMHO, is to use AV...to 1. support Compaq stock, 2. profit from any IPO. My method would serve both ends.

Regards, Jim
