I also got the same offer on Repertoire and did send in the coupon. 
I got some disks with the definition modules and object code for the 
implementation modules. You also get a manual on disk. If you buy the
library you will get a printed manual and the source code for the modules.
The demo version is fully usable but you have no right to distribute 
programs that uses Repertoire modules without paying for it. It does 
not cost over $600, I think it is 100 - 150.
 
I have not used Repertoire much and have not bought it. To me it seemed 
to be rather labourious to learn the library good enough to know when 
to pick routines from it. The few tests a made also indicated that 
it makes the programs rather slow and large comparred to write customized 
procedures. Maybe you will get an better impression and overview of 
the library with a printed manual. If you need some of the modules 
in the library it could be an good idea to use if for faster program 
development if speed and codesize not is critical (usually it is not). 
Probably you will have better use of the libray with source code you 
can modify. Maybe I will look at the modules one times more and perhaps 
send after the library. However, the best way to get an impression 
of it is to send after the demo and look if it is something you need.
