Cybertek sued TCC (Life70) over copyright infringements and won. I did a lot of research on the subject because of my background, and many of the functions of Cybertek had been copied into Life/70. This includes the TXFDL macro logic.

The company was issuing a lot of limited benefit health policies at the time. I researched the Life/70 conversion. The policy print (TXFDL) was not as flexible as the Lifecomm technique and was a factor in the decision. The commission rate file structure would have fit perfectly. The company had just converted to a commission system I designed, and although it was working perfectly, it was “outside the box” and that was a supposed area of Lifecomm expertise.
