Youge! Those prices posted earlier were the _discount_ rate.

I had always planned to get around to learning to use Frontier... one of
these days...; I believe I have changed my plans.

Maybe Matthias would tell us again the reasons why the "Make MacPerl 100%
OSAX compliant" project ran aground?  Maybe more of us we have incentive
now to find the answers to some of those problems?

When it was simply a case of learning a new language or not, that was one
thing but... yipes!

Can we help?  $300 a year buys a lot of help.
