	Word Perfect's first Bitstream offering was gratis, the second -
for Bitstream 3.0 - cost $10. Hewlett Packard last year offered *their*
soft font starter set - Type Director - for $39.95. It's advantage over
the Bitstream is that it supports *multiple* applications, including
Windows 3.0, Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, maybe a few others.
