Let me reiterate a sticky question still outstanding (since I haven't seen an answer yet): On Wed, 26 Jul 1995 13:04:05 -0400 Chris Bartram said: >Our s/w contract >coordinator says they're both required or we won't get any "updates" to the >software...

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. > inquiring minds need to know, You got that right! > Chris Bartram & Jeff Kell (among others)
