Three minor corrections/addenda to report on Smalltalk Licenses:
1)  The Xerox 1100 SIP had it's price reduced to $45,000 (from $59k) over 6
months ago.
2)  The Xerox 1132 also runs Smalltalk (and 5 to 10X faster).  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).
