$59 if ordered directly from WP. Basically, with fully amortized
development costs, it was a loss leader. 5.1+ differed from 5.1
mostly by having the FAX capabilities of 6.0DOS. There were a
couple of other minor new features and bug fixes, none of which I
remember.
The store in question is not cheap, but, if you need licensed 5.1
that's what you have to do: find used software stores that stock
it and pay the price. There's a used hardware/software store in
this area that, reportedly, sometimes has it. But I was posting a
"hard" sighting.
