Um, Jerry, don't you think that $80 is a bit steep for part of
the "System Software"?  Perhaps you could enlighten us as to what
comes in the package that may or may not make it worth $80?
  I hardly think that a few 800K disks and and even a ream of
nice paper are worth $80. APDA made a point of saying that the
costs for "System Software" were merely to cover their costs.
$25 for "System Software" is acceptable. $40 if more paper
and disks will be sent later. No more. While I assume that
the CommToolbox has reached a state where I may think it better
to use the sample programs than to use the commercial
communications programs I use now, it's still "System Software".
