Klein began probing Microsoft's browser-licensing practices partly in response to furious complaints from rival softwaremakers like Netscape. That Silicon Valley company, which is fighting to keep its 60% share of the browser market from being overrun by Microsoft, has so far handed over thousands of pages of documents.

A former mayor, the owlish-eyed, professorial Barco stammered his way to the presidential palace in 1986.
