A question for the Atari folk ---

I have recently heard rumors that Atari will be making available
a RAM loadable version of GDOS? Is this rumor true? If so: great!
When will it be available? From who(m)? How much? Etc etc etc...

On the same note: I recently started playing around with GEM for
an IBM XT. It *does* have GDOS --- believe me, it's nice. Having
different fonts, device drivers, etc is pretty amazing. (You wouldn't 
believe the screen dumps I have been able to do to my printer...)
GDOS actually makes the GEM interface tolerable....

Neil? Whaddya say?
