More precisely, DEC is expecting its customers to phase out the VT-100 by buying the (cheaper) VT-220. DEC can't lower the price of the VT-100 to match - it costs more to produce. But so long as people keep buying the VT-100, you can expect DEC to keep making it - that's how they do business. Larry Seiler Seiler@MIT-XX -------
