I read this on CompuServe and as far as I can tell it has not been confirmed.
    - Aegis Development was bought by Oxxi, Aegis will continue to
      develop products, Oxxi will market them.
    - CMI is gone, and with it AppleTalk.

Not entirely correct. OXXI bought all Aegis assets.  Aegis headquarters
disappeared quite some time ago.  Aegis is now a "division" of
OXXI.  With the trade name and assets OXXI got most of the products,
but not all of them, since individual investors 'owned' some of the
Aegis products.  OXXI has entreted with an agreement with SPARTA, so that
all of the previous SPARTA products licensed to Aegis are now licensed to OXXI.
I believe OXXI will maintain the "aegis' name on its NEW versions of the OLD
Aegis products. None of the old officers of Aegis is now associated with
OXXI/Aegis, though I believe OXXI will hire a former Aegis employee for 
tech support of the old Aegis products that Aegis picked up. No, Diga!
was not picked up by OXXI, sorry :-)
