Is that just the ATT OPEN LOOK toolkit or also the X11/NeWS Merge that
has been available since Jan?  I have been having difficulty getting a clear
picture of the X11/NeWS merge project.

I've talked to Christina Hahn at AT&T Unix Europe this week and she
provided Licensing Terms for the AT&T OPEN LOOK GUI source product,
with a Source Fee of $1,000.  Is it safe to assume this is all that is
being made available on 3/31/89?  What about the NeWS/X11 merge?

Also, the AT&T product sheet quotes a XWIN product that appears to be
the MIT/DEC X11R3 with support for VGA and CGA on the 386 port, for just :-)
$17,000.
