Aldus Corp has reached a settlement of its disagreement with Altsys Corp over rights to Aldus FreeHand, which means that the acquisition of Aldus by Adobe Systems Inc can go ahead: under the new agreenment, on termination of the licence agreement with Altsys, in July 1995, Aldus will transfer some assets relating to Aldus FreeHand to Altsys, including all of its interests in the FreeHand name and documentation, foreign translations and access to the FreeHand user mailing list; Adobe will also now pay one Adobe share for each Aldus held, where it had planned to pay 1.15 for one.
