No, it is DEFINITELY not more expensive...the CDROM cost me $15.00 apiece
and the AT&T Class libraries cost me $10.00...which adds up to the $25.00 
that I was asking :)

I got billed for the two extra copies, and I have been waiting three weeks
for the shipping company that IBM uses to call me to pick them up (yes,
I have called back to bug them...I presume the delay is due to the holidays).
I just got tired of waiting and decided to see if I could sell them over
the net for what they cost me...that's all...
