Tom Atwater called. He said that Hank Lamb was definitely
doing AIRLINE and TRANSFORMATION and the contracts
were in the works with the legal dept. (He was surprised
that he hadn't already told me.)
He hasn't rcd. any royalty statements on TEMPO,
ODD OR EVEN, or INTERPLAY, DOZO, or CASTILLE. He
mentioned it to Hank and Hank promised to look into that too.

I told him how fast TANGLED WEB came back from "Lakeside".
He told me that he had to show it to Hank Simmons
first, but he thinks they are "stupid" returning it so fast.
I asked if i should send it to Hank Lamb and he said
"yes". He is afraid that producing it might be a problem
- as I was afraid.
I asked him whether I should work on HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME
and he said to hold up for the present.
He said he was being "paged" and I didn't get a chance
to ask about the label goofs on the two games and the
special projects Hank Lamb mentioned in his last letter.

Called Jim Dunnigan. No answer and then called Phil Orbanes.
Told him about Bob Hallowell and EXCALIBUR.
Phil told me a lot of news.
Now that Jim Dunnigan is working for Vidmer (who
is doing a lot to build up the circulation of S & T) Jim
will be leaving "Infinity - Quest Inc." Phil will use
various royalty monies to buy back Jim's stock.
