 -----  Part 3

 When I first took on the SYSTEM IV, I contacted AT&T re porting UNIX to
 the SYSTEM IV.  My cost for manuals, if I had gotten a license, would have
 been $200 per set and that didn't include the C-Compiler or the assembler.
 SCO gets a similar price for their manuals; again, with the same limitations.

 I'm not trying to defend any of MW's practices - rather, I'm trying to put
 them in perspective with regard to comparable OSs I'm familiar with.  Your
 complaint, if any, should not be with MW (or me) but rather with the provider
 of your equipment - he is responsible to see that you have the necessary
 information for your system in accordance with the terms of your purchase
 agreement.

 BTW, is your hardware provider offering you 'Ultra-C'?.  MW is offering
 the upgrade for $500.00.  You must prove you are a legitimate owner of
 Professional OS-9 and/or the C-Compiler and the offer expires the end
 of this month.  Alternatively, most OEM's are offering the upgrade to
 their customers at a price lower than MWs.  Customers of DELMAR CO and
 Peripheral Technology will be able to get the upgrade for $200 - not
 much over cost.  All of the OEM offers will probably expire the end of
 this month, also.
