Really great history you're sharing Karl, thank you!  Jim Martin, who
you referenced in that article, I had heard around that time was in
part known for having developed a first multicast "something" for the
PC (DOS/Windows), maybe some kind of audio/video client?  I don't
remember what it was now.  Does that ring any bells?
