- I called Proportional wondering if the IBM price was also good for
- students, ala `educational discount' or `student pricing' for those
- of us dirt poor. Alas, no discount exists just yet, 'cause there
- has been "no demand for it!" If you would like a coup of this
- software at discount, and you are a bona fide college student, call
- proportional at the 1-800 number above and request you student copy.
- Perhaps if enough of us request a copy, they will make them
- available!
