[ Reposted for distribution problems.  -Dan ]

My current job gives me NO time to continue my Amiga Typeface Engine 
project.  I'm opening up development to interested programmers.

Ultimately, whoever wants to continue development of ATE will get my 
source code and development log and a license to use it to finish the 
program.  Whatever you end up doing with it is up to you, as long as it 
results in a finished program to use PostScript type in any Amiga app; 
the original intent.

Contact:

Gordon Fecyk (gordonf@freenet.vancouver.bc.ca)
5531 McRae Street
Richmond, BC   V6V 2P5
Canada

Phone: (604) 526-8724 or (604) 681-1373 ext 105

Conditions:

If the final product will be free/shareware/otherwise publicly available 
for little or no money, the only condition is you reach the original 
objective; A typeface manager allowing PostScript type to work in any 
Amiga application, preferably using a bullet.library style process (I 
kept getting slammed for my hacker's approach).

If the final product will be for commercial sale, you and I must work out 
some kind of payment for work already completed.  You must still reach 
the final objective.  

Sincere hopes:

I hope that someone else, with a lot more time on their hands than me, 
can see Amiga Type Engine to completion.
