Well, first you need to be a little high so you have somewhere to mark it down to in the "closeout" racks when a newer version becomes available. :-) I've purchased plenty of programming textbooks alone that cost $29.95 and up. Throwing in a compiler and some other spiffy stuff ought to bring the value up a bit. Or did you have in mind the notion of simply writing a "Learn Ada95 In 21 Days" book and including the compiler glued to the back cover and getting it some shelf space at Waldenbooks? Sounds more like a $39.95 price point. Ultimately, we need to set MR = MC and finding that price point could be complicated ;-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Real Time & Embedded Systems, Propulsion Systems Analysis United Technologies, Pratt & Whitney, Large Military Engines M/S 731-95, P.O.B. 109600, West Palm Beach, FL, 33410-9600 ***To reply, remove "bogon" from the domain name.*** Visit my web page at: http://www.mcondic.com/
