I don't think that you will get a complete Topspeed development system for
$99. From CeBIT '91 I took an order form with me and my understanding is the
following: You can customize your development system and you have to pay for
every single part. At least you need 2 parts: The Topspeed Environment (editor,
debugger, helpsystem,...) and one of the compilers. For a 2-parts-system the
special CeBIT offer was DM 460,- (round about $270). On the basis of better
prices in USA you may have to pay $99 per part, but this doubles the price for
a minimal system to $198.

Greetings, Frank.
