              Developers AVS vs. DEC AVS
              --------------------------
I would like to pose a question to AVS Inc. and DEC.

Are there any plans to include DEC AVS in the plan for distributing
AVS as part of the Delopers AVS Licensing scheme???

Right now, AVS Inc is offering a developers package for AVS which allows
a developer to create runtime only licenses for AVS. The initial package
allows the creation of 5 licenses and additional licenses are $3000/ seat.

Unfortunately, DEC is NOT one of the platforms that these licenses can be
created for and we support several different type of platforms
in our organization including DEC.

Is this arrangement going to require us to make a separate arrangement with
DEC concerning licensing on their platforms. This situation will make AVS
cost prohibitive on platforms in the field and most likely, discourage
users from selecting the DEC platform in the field.

I have asked this question in this newsgroup before in a less direct manner
and got no response from either AVS or DEC in this newsgroup.

Is anyone listening???
