Of course. From 1986/1987 until 1993 we licensed CTAR, that is, the
/bin/ctar program which we packaged into the rest of our product,
from the original author, and built the CTAR name.

In 1993 UniTrends, the successor company to the original MedFlex, began
trading more heavily on the name, which they had every legal right to do.

We re-branded as BackupEDGE in '93, and continued to license that part
of the product for another 10 years, until we released our 2.0
product line back in 2003.
