HI , After reading all about ATM, and the problems I have had with WFW, I have decided to buy ATM. My question is which is the difference between the two different levels of the package - one costs approx. $170 (australian) and the other appprox $325. thanks in advance Chris Wignall La Trobe University Bundoora Melb.

I assume that one is the basic ATM package (ATM program, Times, Helvetica, Courier fonts), while the other is the ATM/Plus Pack combo, which brings the collection of fonts up to the full LaserWriter Plus complement (i.e. Palatino, AvantGarde, Bookman, Century Schoolbook, etc.) The Plus Pack also provides the "foundry" utility which allows you to make bitmap fonts for the HP LaserJet and compatibles, and screenfonts for various applications (Ventura, WP, etc.). Note however, that the "foundry" utility will not work with P.D. Type1 fonts such as can be found on CICA, nor will it allow you to completely redesign the character set of the bitmap fonts it produces. -- W.N.Paul, Int. Institute f.
