Terribly sorry, Keith.  I thought I'd put that in the posting but I guess I 
forgot.

A friend of mine is an Amiga developer, and he told me that Commodore/Amiga
people were telling their developers on the BIX developer's conference that 
the Amiga is the LYNX development system.  This was only a few days ago.

What I know for sure is that some of the Epyx people working on the LYNX used
to work on the Amiga for Commodore, and when Atari saved the LYNX from going
under with Epyx'x demise, the project was set in stone.

I do not know if it was someone employed by Commodore who posted this
information, or just someone on the closed developer's conference on BIX.

I don't mean to make the Atari we all know and love to look bad, I just thought
it was kinda interesting.
