It's price is about $125,000. 3) A single 1100 or 1132 can be licensed for Smalltalk for $5,000. At four machines the pricing switches to the $20,000 blanket license. The primary market for the 11xx machines is as Interlisp machines. Many of the features in Smalltalk have corresponding features in Interlisp D. (The main exception is the "object" orientation, but the functions for the display manipulation do possess an ad-hoc object-style of message passing). Darrel J. Van Buer, SDC
