KWM.NET and DRL Systems
Announce Integration Agreement
29 September 1998

DENTON, Tx. - DRL Systems announced to today
that pending J.P. approval, they will merge with
kwm.net on 7 November, 1998, creating a new
family of horizontal integration products. DRL
Systems is the widely-regarded manufacturer of
the protocol Suite Host Assessment Rating for TCP
(Suite HART). KWM.NET, as some readers will
remember, developed the Bandwidth Actualization
Dynamics and Packet User Network System
(BADPUNS).
Sources inside the merger say that integration
and development activities to date have yielded
several pre-release products such as Solaris
Management Open-System Optical Character Hashing
(SMOOCH), as well as an as-yet unnamed technique
of high-bandwidth neural network synching of push
servers over physical media, which when combined
with existing enabling technologies (or rather,
the lack thereof) will result in UNIX System
Managers that fork a new subprocess every couple
of years.
Concurrent with the merger will be the release
of KWM.NET's new video game, "Geek
World", in which players work their way
through along recursive maze of obstacles, only
to have all the points they'd ever want
unexpectedly showered on them all at once.
Both DRL Systems and KWM.NET are privately
held companies with offices in two locations in
Denton, TX.
