According to a letter from Goldleaf, there is less than two weeks before
it is released.  Seems that Goldlead is just itching to send it out ASAP
(after all, they have possibly the only FSM-ready program on the market,
thus the new GDOS is a selling point.)

Probably all channels.  I would hope that they distribute it in addition
to the old GDOS (in software packages.)

Cost?  Beats me.  It's supposed to include a DJ driver, as well as an HP
Laserjet driver and Epson drivers.  They'd be stupid to drop any drivers
in the package.

>4) Can I get it now by buying Goldeaf's Wordflair II?

No.  They are going to charge cost plus shipping and handling when they
sell FSM.
