Lines: 13 Nntp-Posting-Host: groucho.brb.dmt.csiro.au We are considering buying a 4D30G. Does anybody know if "The Publisher" from ArborText is available for it. Also does their floating license scheme permit licenses to float between different platforms eg. sun and SG. On a similar note IDEAS/SUPERTAB (which I know is available for the 4D30) also has a floating license scheme. Does it float across different platforms? The reason I ask, as most people can probably already guess, is that extra costs of buying IDEAS and The Publisher may rule out buying the SG and force us to continue buying SUNs. -- Greg Lehmann, CSIRO Division of Manufacturing Technology, Telephone: +61 7 365 3877 c/- Dept. of Mining & Metallurgical Eng., Facsimile: +61 7 365 3711 The University of Queensland, QLD 4072.
