It is a pity about NACSCORP unable to supply direct to Leigh here in Australia.  
I asked my bookroom, they new of NACSCORP and they often order other  
educational offer software, from various places.

The bookroom (Melbourne University Bookroom) would take down the details  
(ISBN#, NACSCORP, NeXTSTEP FIP Edu Package) and order it....or at least try to.

In my eyes there would have to be good reason for NACSCORP not to sell it to an  
university bookstore. The bookstore could send my student number and current  
enrollment record, surely.

I received a call today from someone in Sydney who had just written a review (I  
had the idea it was published somewhere, but I don't follow all the mags) of OS  
2.1. He was asking a lot of very specific questions, about the availability of  
NeXTSTEP here in Australia, the Educational Offer, the Trial Pack that is  
available.  His outlook was information gathering I am sure, but if/when he  
writes an article on NeXTSTEP here in Australia, I would like to be able to  
tell him good news.

On a similar note, wouldn't it be a good idea if Mathematica was offered with  
NeXTSTEP (EDU) for a modest fee? Mathematica under NeXTSTEP is much more stable  
than under Windows.

If you would like to know any further developments about Educational Offers in  
Australia, please drop me a quick reply note and I will let people know as soon  
as I know anything concrete.

Aris.
