I updated the "When will GEOS 2 be out?" question, added the info 
about Zoomer, and inserted Shag's list of GeoWorks phone numbers and 
addresses.

#Q:  How can I contact GeoWorks?
#
#A:  Their main address is:
#

#        Canada
#
#Q:  When is PC/GEOS 2.0 going to be launched? 
#
#A:  No one knows for sure, and GeoWorks isn't telling.  The current 
#    estimate is first or second quarter of '93.  The beta test of the 
#    SDK (and the OS as well?) evidently got underway shortly after 
#    1/1/93.
#
#Q:  Is PC/GEOS available as a pen system?
#
#A:  Pen/GEOS was announced by Geoworks CEO Brian Dougherty at the 
#    recent Pen Computing conference.  Due to PC/GEOS's object-oriented 
#    design, once the basic pen support was added to the appropriate 
#    system level objects, all of the applications autmatically have 
#    basic Pen support.  Pen-specific applications are sure to follow.  
#
#    GeoWorks has signed a deal with Casio and Tandy to provide an 
#    operating system (GEOS) for a handheld, pen-based device they're 
#    making, code name "Zoomer."  Zoomer is slated for release in early 
#    summer '93.
