Price is EXTREMELY reasonable for the DEC software universe, e.g. $126 for a MicroVAX 2000, to a peak of $1,995 for a VAX 8978. We've ordered it and have heard from others that it does a good job. Unlike the hacks that use the sixel-upload capability of VT124, VT240, etc., terminals, RETOS uses the full resolution of the output device -- circles lose their jaggies, etc. (Info from the Winter/Spring 88 DECDirect catalog and from conversations with other users.)
