Ashton-Tate announced today that they had purchased Ann Arbor Softworks and
its acclaimed paint program, FullPaint and their soon-to-be released word
processor, FullWrite Professional.

Some of Ann Arbors programmers will be joining the Ashton-Tate development
team which is relocating from So Cal to Silicon Valley.  

Also, Ashton-Tate announced their new spreadsheet and a run-time version
of dBase Mac.

I saw the above in today's Wall Street Journal.
I wonder why Ann Arbor sold out?  It looks like Ashton-Tate is going full
force into the Mac market, just hope the spreadsheet is better than
dBase Mac.  

One more important thing,  it said FullWrite would not be released until 
APRIL.  more waiting.
