FOLLOWUPS REDIRECTED TO c.o.o.a ONLY, PLEASE LEAVE IT THAT WAY

The following is part of a notice I just found on CompuServe
(I was trying to figure out how to make OS/2 reboot from a commandline
program #@*@#*$ OS. [If you know how, e-mail me.])

Anyway I was shocked to find that they seem to be going back to
charging $895 for WorkSet/2.  (I mean WorkSet/2 is barely worth the $295!)
I can only hope that revision Ian Ameline has talked about is coming soon!

This policy is so insane!  MS is practically giving away its SDK and IBM
charges 3 times or more what their's is worth!

BTW, all those that told me IBM technical docs were $240 list... you were
wrong... see below.

Anyway, if you've been putting off doing it, better act now.
