It will be months for 1.5.  Also, the only version will probably be the IBM
slipcase version, which is currently $116.  We are going from 10 disks to 17,
and P-H wants me to include the entire current listing in it (400+ pages),
so some price increase is inevitable.  If you want it cheap, upgrade from
the net.  It's hard to beat the price.  P-H will offer a discount for people
who trade in their boot diskette or the label from the boot diskette's jacket.
