    Yes, but the REAL kick in the but is going from $595/$75 to $3500/$350 for
    development/runtime cost!  My company had just decided to go with PPS over
    Digitalk, since you got a lot more for a small difference in price.  We will
    now be re-examining that decision, I can assure you!

    My company too is re-evaluating PPS.  We will be looking closely at
    Digitalk and maybe at picking up the GNU stuff.

I wonder if PP owns a lot of Digitalk stock :-}
