Earlier this year, MRC was looking for a new moderator.
It seems several people have tried to get off this list by sending to him 
or info-atari-request at su-score, yet were unsuccessful.  Do we have
a new moderator?  Is the list still run from score?  Knowing this
would be nice, because I wish to be removed from the list.  Would the
real info-atari moderator please stand up?  (And remove me from the list?)

I just received this in the mail today:

NEWS RELEASE, ATARI CORP.

Date:  October 11, 1985
Contact: Sam Tramiel, President, Atari Corp.

SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA -- In an agreement between Digital Research and
Apple Computer, Digital Research has agreed to make certain superficial
changes to three of its application programs:  "GEM Desktop", "GEM Paint",
and "GEM Draw".  Contrary to reports, the agreement does not require
changes to GEM or to Atari Corp.'s TOS operating system.

DRI, as part of its normal development process, has prepared
enhancements to its GEM appliation products which further set it apart
from the Apple Macintosh.  Atari is reviewing these changes.  Atari
promises its software developers and customers that Atari will make no
changes that will reduce the capabilities of the Atari ST system and
software.  Further, Atari promises that any enhancements will maintain
compatibility with GEM applications software on the market and in
development.

Digital Research's GEM and the applications software which uses its
capabilities will continue to provide the most powerful and easy-to-use
computer interface on the market.  The Atari 520 ST continues to be the
most powerful computer delivering these features and will continue to do
so at an affordable price.

		*	*	*	*	*

In an unrelated development, Atari Corp. is pleased to announce the 
availablility of "Atari ST Basic", the most powerful an easy-to-use
version of Basic for any computer.  Atari ST customers who have sent in
their warrranty cards will automatically receive this new product.  It
will also be made available through your nearby Atari computer dealer.
