+---------------

ATM uses its own cache, not the General CDEV RAM cache.  ATM's cache size can
be changed via the "~ATM" CDEV.

BTW, to jas@ISI who asked about Type 3 fonts: Brian Beziaton pointed out that
Type 3 fonts are pretty much general PostScript, so for ATM to handle them it
would have to be a Display PostScript program and not just a font generator.
That *is* asking for a bit much....
