Dear Laird -
  E.T.O. _is_ $300.00 a year for a subscription to four CD-ROMs.  To be allowed
to subscribe to E.T.O you must own the MPW C and Object Pascal Bundle, MPW C++,
and MacApp.
  You would be given credits for your MPW C and Object Pascal Bundle and for
MacApp, requiring you to purchase MPW C++ (at a discount I might add) to be
eligible for E.T.O.
  Yes, E.T.O. does contain beta software, just as the software supplement of
old contained beta software.  There are a lot of folks for which this will
solve problems.  Also remember that is you are an E.T.O. subscriber you will
get the final releases of the various products.  Looking the beta-final costs
in the past, $300.00 for all betas and final releases of MPW, MPW C++, and 
MacApp, is going to be a big savings.  And remember that their are things like
411 that only make sense to distribute on CD-ROM, that you will be getting
also.
