+    AT&T Language System, Rel 1.2           C++ Language System, Rel 2.0
+    Initial CPU: $2000                      Initial CPU: $20,000

[etc.]

WARNING! The price of C++ 2.0 depends greatly on the nature of the licenses
you may have with AT&T.

Per Chuck Northrop of AT&T (415-830-4409) (PacBell's pricing and sales
person at AT&T):

	Because PacBell has a general UNIX source license and because
	most of my offices development machines have specific cpu source
	licenses, it will cost us a whole order of magnitude less per
	cpu than the prices cited above.  The prices cited above are
	probably those that apply if you have absolutely no UNIX source
	license.

I recommend you contact AT&T before you bounce around the office like I
did when I initially read about the prices in this newsgroup.
