A few details follow on the UNIRAS system - note that I am an inexperienced but enthusiastic user of the system, and *not* an official salesman for it (but if anyone wants to give me commission.....:-) ) UNIRAS corporate office Copenhagen 376, Gladsaxevej, DK-2860 Soborg, Denmark.

UK. University/Polys : 1500 pounds p.a. for first site licence, 500 pounds per subsequent machine implementation - so if you have a VAX cluster that has the main licence, that costs 1500 pounds - for *all* users connected to that VAX. If you have suns as well, its 500 pounds extra to run it on any/all of the suns. Contact them for more details. On a personal note, I like it, its easy to use, for scientists and non-scientists alike, and draws very pretty piccies! Russell.
