Why, they're *selling* that old product. You can't tell from the sales literature if this is the same old release 2.4 the old uPort released TWO years ago, but there's no indication that it's not. Price is $649 for the 2-user version and $898 for the unlimited version. Amazing. It does appear, that they're throwing in DOS-Merge for this price, but, as I recall, this never worked anyway... -- UUCP: {rutgers|ames|uunet}!mimsy!woodb!fallst!tkevans INTERNET: tkevans%fallst@wb3ffv.ampr.org Tim Evans 2201 Brookhaven Ct, Fallston, MD 21047
