Now THERE'S a theory! It rather struck me as odd that Infocom would "stop/lower their Atari support", especially since it IS (as you said it) formatting text. I've completely forgotten about the Activison link there. But then, what COULD have happened between Activision and Atari? I doubt the "former Atari programmers" would be angry at the NEW Atari, since Jack Tramiel wasn't even around at the time. Must be some kind of behind-the-drapes deal that got blown, maybe? This would also explain why Activision's first ST program, FILM DIRECTOR, still hasn't been released (it was mentioned in an Activision newsletter from last October, and I'm still waiting!)...Hmmm... --R.J. B-) P.S. I know it's been officially denied, but I *STILL* like to believe there's some hanky-panky between Electronic Arts and Commodore to stop Atari support... (I'm sorry, but Trip Hawkin's interview in ANALOG a few months back didn't hold water with me)
