In retrospect, the question in my mind about Atari's finances, generated by a cable TV program that I now believe was over 2 years old, should have remained where it began: in my mind, and NOT on this net. I could, and should, have brought up this question via a medium that does not get such wide dissemination. I am now confident that the cable TV show was discussing the state of affairs of Atari in pre-Tramiel, pre-ST days when they were still owned by Warner Communications (and, AT THAT TIME, in BIG financial trouble). End of rumor. New rumor: who is porting NASTRAN to the ST? Bob Menton MENTON@NRL-ACOUSTICS ------ ------
