AT&T is planning on revamping their pricing structure. I don't know how
much that would affect the 386 retail level though.

It is supposed to be but I found several violations in the header files without
looking too hard. Thier preprocessor also has some none-ansi intrinsics and
will be needed to digest their header files. I had a friend of mine report
this to the compiler group at AT&T and I don't know what became of it.
