I suspect the Tek CAChe group will respond separately, but the simple
answer is that the cancellation of the workstation product lines had no
effect on either the CAChe group and products or the RP88 group and
products (RP88 is the name of the family of coprocessor products, which
are available independent of the Computer Aided Chemistry products).

In fact, we are just preparing our announcement of a 33MHz product and
a very significant reduction in prices.  (Quick plug -- prices now
range from $4.5k to $11k, speeds from 16MHz to 33 MHz, and the 33MHz
board shows 70k Dhrystones1.1, 63k Dhrystones2.1 and 32.3M Whetstones.
Contact us if you need more info on the RP88 products, prices or other
benchmarks.  -- End of plug)
