When you purchase an 040 NeXT (new station/cube or upgrade) you are 
authorized to use ANY of the software included in Release 2.0 Extended.  You
can acquire the software by purchasing the floppies from NeXT (list $175) or
by downloading the software from another 040 NeXT.

              2) You must purchase SR2.0/Ext from NeXT if you only have an 030.
