From MacWeek, 13 June 1989, page 74, Mac The Knife:

   "Olduvai's FontShare is in for an upgrade, too.  The new version, planned
    for an August release, will have several new features, ranging from the
    ability to enable and disable the start-up page to automatically down-
    loading fonts to the laser printer at start-up (just like Suitcase).
    For compulsive types, the new FontShare will include a feature that
    keeps track of pages printed by each individual Mac on a network."

From an OLDUVAI Corporation PRESS RELEASE (For Immediate Release):

   "South Miami, FL, June 19, 1989 -- OLDUVAI Corporation announced today
    that it has sold ICON-IT!, FONTSHARE, ART-FONTS (Vol. 1/2/3) and
    ARTCLIPS (Vol 1/2) to Tactic Software, a newly formed software
    publishing and development company based in Miami, Florida."

An accompanying press release from TACTIC Software gives the following
contact information:

   CONTACT: Jay Jason Bartlett
   (305) 378-4110 or (800) 344-4818
   FAX (305) 232-7467

Disclaimers: I am only reporting information which has been previously published.
I am not responsible for supplying the above information to Mac the Knife, and
do not know the source of the rumor.  I AM the author of the LaserWriter 
Accounting program to which Mac the Knife is referring, and I believe that
I am close to an agreement with Tactic Software that would allow them to
market this program with FontShare.  However, we have not yet signed any
agreement.
