Opening: WASHINGTON -- Computer companies and the federal
government appear to have peacefully resolved a fierce
battle over the export of powerful coding software in
computers.
The computer makers plan to use new technology that would
block the use of code circuitry in exported computers
unless both buyer and seller obtain licenses in this
country.
The coding software is designed to help people prevent
their electronic mail, files, credit-card numbers and the
like from being read by hackers and thieves.
