You're correct in saying that you can't go from the two-user to unlimited for Release 3.2 or 4.0. I think this is silly, but that's what ESIX says. (I dislike it because many of the people buying ESIX are buying it for at-home use. I don't think they should be penalized for buying cheap now, and then wanting to upgrade later if they find they want to handle newsfeeds for their neighbors or give the kids a terminal in their rooms.) However, as for the inability to add the development system, you're definitely correct that it was true of R3.2 of ESIX. On the price list for R4, though: Other List ------------------- ---- Software Devl. Ext. $ 795 I would assume that means what it says: you add the development system to your R4 runtime.
