Does anyone know if Heath (HeathKit) was included in the sale of
Zenith Computers to Bull?

Thanks!

According to the Wall Street Journal article (page 3, 3 Oct), yes, it was.

Now that Zenith is selling its Heath business to Clendes Machines Bull,

In the October 9 issue of Info World there is a story stating that Groupe
Bull will be keeping the name of Zenith for the computer line. This came
from Bull Exec V.P. Gerald Vennard. No mention was made of the Heathkit
kit line.
