	I just got off the phone with someone in tech support at
Compugraphic. Apparently they don't know about any non-disclosure
agreements. I was told point blank that Commodore IS integrating
Compugraphic font technology into the OS, hopefully in 1.4. The sale
of all of CG's font technology for the Amiga will be through Gold
Disk, thus Commodore will pay Gold Disk for the fonts which CBM will
then put into WB. I was told that the programming is going on in Los
Gatos, but it was my understanding that all the techs were in West
Chester. That's probably my misunderstanding. This is very juicy info.
and will put the Amiga well ahead of Macintosh in terms of operating
systems AND Desktop Publishing, as so much work will be saved. This is
the best piece of info. I've heard in a while. Maybe CBM is going for
a 512K KS to put some fonts in ROM?
	Does anyone know if there is an equivalent Postscript Printer
for Compugraphic?
