- It seems the info on the Consensys SVR4.0 product (Consensys Release 1.3)
- has now been deleted. Why? Because it's no longer supported?
-
- Note the price corrections below:

- X and Motif development set is $395; MoOLIT development is $995; C2 Security
- set is $395.
-
- They have an upgrade offer for Consensys SVR4.0 (1.2 or 1.3) customers:
- they credit you back the full price you paid them, up to $495 for 2-user
- or $695 for unlimited, plus they throw in X and Motif development sets for
- no cost.

-
- FYI, for Consensys SVR4.2, it's $120, not $80. For SVR4.0, it was $40 when
- I bought it -- I don't know where the $80 figure came from...
