Center, Univ. of Texas at Austin Lines: 22 So I don't need some of the tools like yacc and lex. I don't have to buy them. Well hooray, I just saved some money. Ha. Nowhere have I seen that the basic subset you get with the 3b2 is discounted appropriately for each of the packages you don't get. Now let's see, if I add the cost of all those packages to the basic package, I get the cost of a source liscense. Actually, I have no prices, so I'm exaggerating, but I wouldn't doubt that it is close to true and there's no way I'm going to pay twice for the software. Also, since the price of Sys 5 is bundled in with the 3b2, does that mean that there are no educational discounts on it? I would assume the bundled in price is the price they are charging the real world. AT&T had better get their act together if they don't want to lose their shirt.
