- can't/won't read that there's no time and money left.

- When we got the "temporary SUPs" from Digital 3 years ago they told us
- that we needed to get real PAKs. When the PAKs for some things didn't show
- up after 6 months, they sent us a letter saying, "if you didn't get any
- PAKs, please let us know." When the Fortran compiler showed up last month,
- it had a big letter on the top saying, "hey, if you don't have a certain
- kind of PAK, then you better get one before upgrading."
-
- I think that 3 years notice PLUS a special letter with the kit is plenty of
- "something extra."
