That price is for delivery of the physical CD. It does not include the (legally necessary) right to new version. You can either purchase RTNV as you need to upgrade the product(s), or you can purchase one of the sub- scription forms of RTNV. The lowest-cost is probably Software Node Service, and then you go upwards from there as you add telephone support, etc. New versions consist of 3 things: 1) Right-to-use; 2) Media; 3) Documen- tation. These can be purchased as loose pieces, or in various bundles. Terry Kennedy Operations Manager, Academic Computing terry@spcvxa.bitnet St. Peter's College, US terry@spcvxa.spc.edu (201) 915-9381
