Reality check.  Most places selling DWB 2.0 based 386 binaries do so at
nearly double this cost.  I strongly doubt they will be providing 50%
discounts with a 3.1 based release.  (Please note I said "most" - there
are some inexpensive troff's around too.)

This, combined with earlier statements to the effect that we should throw
all our non-postscript printers into the crapper, leads me to believe
that either the DWB 3.1 distribution was concocted in an ivory tower, or
AT&T is damned proud of this release.

I don't.  But I want the people who provide my binaries to get it.  And
I've heard rumors to the effect that they aren't interested.
