Could it be that VIScorp is polling its money to buy out AT and thus has 
to let other bills slide as AT is the basis of their future, I think they 
would risk buying that first then paying (to them) some measly bills.

I am sorry to hear about the company going under.. that will not set a 
good example to developers that VIScorp want to keep on the Amiga side, 
or attract.
