p.s.  Regarding Nick's question about a retroactive s/w bundle for current
MPE developers -- CSY is not making the 918DX s/w bundle offer retroactive.
Sorry for the news.  Some of our negotions have been tricky and we don't see
this as being realistic right now.  This is just CSY's decision, individual
3rd parties who are contributing their own s/w can define their own rules.

p.p.s  I still hope to get a 918DX page on jazz one of these days that
contains all of this info plus more.
