	The word from Bruce @ Atari Canada is that EA will be supporting
current BI products (e.g., Degas, Isgur Portfolio, etc.), and dropping
products that were still under development (e.g., PaperClip Elite).
Can somebody correct this?  I'm hoping that Bruce (Atari rep) is just
trying to drop some bad hints about products in competition with MS Write.
Not that Bruce is necessarily that kind of guy, I don't really know him.
