First off, the sales rep told me that I could buy GNU Emacs and that
X for AIX 3.0 would cost around $500.  I think IBM sales reps don't
know how to deal with $0.00 in the price column, or what public domain
(or freely distributable) code is..

"X server software" is $500, plus $50 for each terminal...
