WASHINGTON (AP) -- Some government lawyers have expressed sufficient interest in a settlement Microsoft Corp. has offered in its antitrust case that they expect a trial judge at least to delay plans to deliver his verdict on Tuesday. The 11th-hour proposal from Microsoft, faxed on Friday, was considered generally inadequate in important areas by some of the 19 states in the lawsuit. But it was provoking enough discussion among others today that a delay was widely expected, according to sources close to the case. Some of the difficulties in evaluating Microsoft's offer stemmed from the large number of plaintiffs. The Justice Department was discussing Microsoft's 10-page proposal with states, and some states were exchanging thoughts in a series of telephone conference calls today.
