i'm not sure; they get a markup on all those disks we bought to hold
all those binaries :) :)...  

on the other hand the sun 3's think sparc executables are scripts, 
and blow chunks when they try to run them.  this has always amazed me,
considering how together sun sw is in most other respects.

actually i must say that i love this network of suns; it's as de luxe a
pile of hardware as i've ever used.
