On VMS you should be able to specify a DECnet filespec or directory
every place you previously specified a normal filespec or directory
(such as on the SET DEFAULT command).  It typically takes special
effort to prevent this :-) when writing a program like GNAT.

Presuming you mean "sued by ACT", any agreement you have with them
would govern whether they would prevail in a US lawsuit.  In the
US anyone can sue, it is winning that gets tricky.  Your email
address indicates the UK, and I have no idea whether that part
of US law was copied from England or not.
