  11. Yes, Catspaw has the ProIcon source, as does the Bright Forest Company.
  12.  
  13. The problem is that the source contains components that are proprietary,
  14. including some still in use in other Catspaw products.  In addition, there
  15. proprietary components whose present owners are unknown.
  16.  
  17. I do not foresee any resolution of these problems, especially the latter.
  18. Just because a company that has rights to a product no longer exists,
  19. it does not mean that someone else did not buy them.  Tracing such ownership
  20. is almost impossible.
