Let me reiterate a sticky question still outstanding (since I haven't seen
an answer yet):

When you get the 36430A Developer's Kit, you get a "trade-in credit" on your
31506A C/iX compiler, so I would certainly HOPE you don't have to pay for
a product that you "traded in".  I meant to check our contracts but forgot,
will let you know tomorrow.  Also since our contracts are being revised for
renewal, I should (maybe) get a straight answer.
