MF. Meridian makes a small profit selling their compilers to students, at
. onesies retail prices of $99-199, depending on features. I don't think
. Meridian has tested the elasticity in dropping their commercial prices to,
. or slightly above, student levels, which would put them in direct
. competition with Borland products, and certainly with the high-end
. "professional" C-family compilers.
I believe that they did once test the elasticity of pricing on their Mac
product ($99) and managed to move very few compilers. I am not certain
whether this is because of the product, the interface, the marketing or
the fact that quiche eaters (Mac users) do not use Ada... [Oh, is this
going to bring on the flames...]
