	As far as I know, there are no payments by Commodore to Atari for the
	Amiga.  However, there is a lawsuit pending in which Atari is claiming
	a prior right to the original Amiga company and, therefore, to the
	Amiga itself.  I am not sure of the details, but I believe that Atari
	wants some kind of payment for each Amiga sold.  This may be the source
	of this rumor.  If anyone wants to look into this further, I believe
	that it was addressed in Infoworld back around Christmastime or the
	first of the year.
