OK, I'm game.  DWB 3.1 has been available for over 2 months.
Tell me one VAR who has it available (2 months should be ample
time for a product that's easily portable).  OK, tell me one VAR
who *plans* to make it available (Elan has told me they don't,
and I'd bet SoftQuad doesn't either).  OK, tell me one VAR who
plans to make it available at a *reasonable price*.  I have a
single user SPARC SLC and refuse to pay one-fourth the cost of
the system just for this.

I'd love to get DWB 3.1 (binary) and would send a check off today ...
