If you are just upgrading from 4.2bsd to 4.3bsd and pay $600 you only get the tape and updated manuals. However, the difference in price is not just the console media. For new licensee Berkeley has to do more paper work, such as verify you are actually licenced with AT&T. This is where the extra cost is incured. -Kevin -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Dunlap kjd@ucbarpa.Berkeley.Edu UC Berkeley CSRG 415/643-6449 ucbvax!kjd (uucp)
