Last year HP/Apollo announced that all m68k-based workstation purchases by
educational institutions from 17 October 1989 would include free licences for

	* Mathematica
	* WingZ spreadsheet
	* Island Graphics' iWrite, iPaint, iDraw

The announcement indicated that Mathematica was already available at that time
and that the other programs would ship early in 1990.  Customers do have to
pay for media and documentation.

We ordered the media and doc together with several DN2500s in November 1990. 
The machines arrived in February.  Our sales rep has kindly lent us a demo
version of Mathematica with a licence limited to one node and expiring soon,
but he hasn't come up with an official version.  He is also about to let us
have a beta-release version of the Island programs, but has no news about
WingZ.

Has any educational site anywhere managed to obtain their free licences for
this software?  If so, how did you go about getting the passwords required to
run Mathematica (in particular) on more than one node?

Please reply by mail if possible: I'll summarize if I get any answers.  Thanks
in advance for any help.
