Back when Adobe was only offering version 2.03 of ATM for $7.50--or, in my
case, as an upgrade--their explanation was that version 3.0 was shipping
only with Multiple Master fonts (ain't a whole lot of those, yet).  So I
was surprised to read on the net that they were now shipping version 3.0
for the $7.50.  But it's true; that's what I got last week.  Whether 
**this** version 3.0 supports multiple masters or not, I don't know. Does
anyone out there have the 3.0 that came with a Multiple Master font?  If
so, could you publish the creation and modification dates and size of
the file?  They're probably the same.

I suspect that Apple has licensed ATM, or at least the code, for the future
systems, and that as part of that agreement Adobe can only charge shipping
and handling.  Either I believe that, or that they are nobly donating it to
the Mac community...
