The question that was asked was:

"What are Outline Fonts? Is Atari planning any future versions of GDOS?"

(NOTE: This isn't the exact quote...)

I didn't mean to imply that Atari was planning to add Outline capabilities
to GDOS. I simply was stating that Atari is planning to release future
versions of GDOS (as opposed to NOT future versions..)

So, does this clear up the so-called Rumor?
