I strongly suspect the bulk of these patents can be trivially invalidated by citing parts of the Multics design as prior art. It makes a strong case because it was both implemented and (for its day) fairly widely deployed. I would put up a plea for assistance on alt.os.multics. I wouldn't waste a lot of time though -- some of us are rapidly approaching the drool-cup stage :-)

Cheers

Earl
