Paul,

Looks to me from that 10K blurb has nothing to do with MMX:

"Effective January 1, 1996, the new agreement gives the Company and Intel the right touse each others' patents and certain copyrights, including copyrights to the x86 instruction sets but excluding other microprocessor microcode copyrights beyond the Intel 486(TM)processor code."

Since MMX is "beyond the 486(TM) Processor code" this cross license doesn't cover it.

Kevin

Re: "The cross-license is royalty-bearing for the Company's products that use certain Intel technologies. The Company is required to pay Intel minimum non- refundable royalties during the years 1997 through 2000."

My point exactly.
