  In the context of the recent (79.5 kTy) Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino
data, we concisely review the status of muonic-tauonic flavor oscillations and
of the subdominant electron or sterile neutrino mixing, in schemes with three
or four families and one dominant mass scale. In the three-family case, where
we include the full CHOOZ spectral data, we also show, through a specific
example, that ``maximal'' violations of the one-dominant mass scale
approximation are not ruled out yet.
