Does anyone know if IBM is planning on offering any kind of special deals on
the development tools for OS/2 2.0 to those of us enrolled in the 32-bit 
Expedite program?  $600 is a lot of money (to me) for C Set/2.

The reason I ask is that I have seen where those who bought Microsoft's SDK
for OS/2 2.0 for $2600 can now get the complete set of tools from IBM for
$250-$300 (can't remember the exact price).  These people have never paid any
money to IBM for tools in the past (they got free Beta versions from IBM) while
those of us in the Expedite program have paid serveral hundred dollars for 
these tools.  It only seems fair that those of us who spent money on the Beta
tools ought to have a chance at a deal on the GA tools.
