Disk doctor: Korean medic's business is curing computer viruses

Article Abstract:

Korean medical doctor Ahn Cheol Soo is turning his avocation, developing anti-computer-virus software, into a business and hopes to develop software that would offer virtual surgery to train physicians. Because of rampant piracy, software development was not profitable in South Korea until recently. He had been known as the computer doctor for several years, but finally decided to form a company to sell his software in 1995. Microsoft has agreed to bundle his software with its Korean launch of Windows 95.

The Stick ... China threatens sanctions but avoids political row

Article Abstract:

World Trade Organization members hoping for concessions from Beijing on market access, tariffs and subsidies were encouraged when China returned to the negotiating table in November 1996. China agreed to not enact any new policies violating world trading rules, as long as the United States and European Union do not increase trade restrictions against China.
