  23. My impression of Un!xware is that it includes a license to use the
  24. software on a single system.  What software are you planning to run on
  25. the machines you describe as workstations?  Bundled MS-DOS?  Does
  26. Un!xware include Novell client software for MS-DOS?  Or do you plan to
  27. PD or proprietary networking software to run under MS-DOS.  Or perhaps
  28. you should add $1200 for system software for the workstations.
