   Unless, of course, you have a 3b2 as your host, in which case binaries
are available at following prices in pounds sterling (rapidly approaching
dollars !!! ):

   Core Package (layers,jim editor,and other goodies)	approx 150
   Text Processing (a fine front-end to DWB)		approx 100
   Application Development (real hackers stuff !!)	approx 400

   Now that isn't as pricey as a Sun....
