Datapoint, Mohawk Combine Subsidiaries - Edelman Changes Plans

Article Abstract:

Datapoint Corp. and Mohawk Data Sciences Corp., each controlled by Asher Edelman, are merging their computer services divisions. Datapoint's service will spin off, creating a publicly traded subsidiary which will then buy Mohawk's customer service division.
