In an effort to alleviate some of the confusion about Commodore I post
the following official Commodore press release (from CBM, not me):
This is for those of you who haven't taken the time to look away from
USENET long enough to read a real newspaper :-)

	    COMMODORE ANNOUNCES NEW CREDIT AGREEMENT WITH BANKS

	    West Chester, PA February 25, 1986 -- Commodore International
	Limited   (NYSE - CBU)   announced  today that  it has reached an
	agreement in principle with its major lending  banks to establish
