Lines: 31 From MacWeek, 13 June 1989, page 74, Mac The Knife: "Olduvai's FontShare is in for an upgrade, too. The new version, planned for an August release, will have several new features, ranging from the ability to enable and disable the start-up page to automatically down- loading fonts to the laser printer at start-up (just like Suitcase). For compulsive types, the new FontShare will include a feature that keeps track of pages printed by each individual Mac on a network." From an OLDUVAI Corporation PRESS RELEASE (For Immediate Release): "South Miami, FL, June 19, 1989 -- OLDUVAI Corporation announced today that it has sold ICON-IT!, FONTSHARE, ART-FONTS (Vol. 1/2/3) and ARTCLIPS (Vol 1/2) to Tactic Software, a newly formed software publishing and development company based in Miami, Florida." An accompanying press release from TACTIC Software gives the following contact information: CONTACT: Jay Jason Bartlett (305) 378-4110 or (800) 344-4818 FAX (305) 232-7467 Disclaimers: I am only reporting information which has been previously published. I am not responsible for supplying the above information to Mac the Knife, and do not know the source of the rumor. I AM the author of the LaserWriter Accounting program to which Mac the Knife is referring, and I believe that I am close to an agreement with Tactic Software that would allow them to market this program with FontShare. However, we have not yet signed any agreement.
