 IBM personal software academic editions are available

 last updated: 5/1/96

 What are Academic Editions?

 They are IBM Personal Software Products which are available to students,
 faculty and staff of educational institutions at a lower price than
 their non-Academic Edition counterparts.
 What is the difference between the Academic Edition and the regular
 commercially available versions of these products?
 There is NO DIFFERENCE in the functionality of these products compared
 to their non-academically priced counterparts.  They simply have a new
 part number and UPC code and a lower price.  The Academic Edition
 sticker on the boxcover requires that the student/faculty/staff
 member show a qualifying id at the time of purchase.  An individual
 distributor may offer a variety of promotional bundles or offers
 to your campus store, so you might find Warp or DOS at your campus
 store bundled with a book or promotional CD, etc.
