Their advertized list price is $125. MPW 2.0.2 is available through APDA for $200. How do they do this? I've heard that the MPW shipped with TML Pascal II doesn't include everything, and I'm curious to find out what's missing. If not much is, I'll wonder again how they do it. (APDA lists the MPW Assembler at $100, which means that TML is charging $25 for their compiler if the MPW they ship isn't complete.) Maybe since MPW 3.0B1 has been made available APDA feels that they can give away MPW 2.0.2 for little or nothing. What happens when MPW 3.0 Final hits the market? Will TML offer an upgrade to 3.0 for one-half of what the rest of us will have paid? Or will their upgrade cost as much as ours? I guess it just makes me excited that someone can let TML give away a development package that most of us paid much more for. I realize that MPW 2.0.2 is worth nothing when 3.0 Final is released, but still this bothers me. Anyone else bothered by this? ||+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++|| || Blayne Puklich nopuklic@Plains.NoDak.EDU "I think I'm going || || NDSU Student ACM nopuklic@ndsuvax.BITNET bald..." || || Chairperson NU087763@NDSUVM1.BITNET -- Rush, from Caress || || North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND of Steel, 1975 || || || || "Everyone should have a Corvette, I think." || || || ||-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
