The price doesn't overly concerne me but I expect my friendly neighborhood NON-DEC OEM (like Pyramid or Gould) to buy it and then sell and support a binary implementation for their machines. Just like the rest of the operating system, eh. You are right, the BLIT hostend is now available, but never the less it was annoying to hear not one hour after the keynote address indicating that ATT wanted to free the community of vender dependence that it said that there would be no source licensing. It was only after a rally of the OEM's that they relented. It was still only 6 months after the person in charge of government licensing insisted that there would be no binary-only software packages brought into the UNIX domain. -Ron
