Ordering MCL 2.0B1 from APDA

[ALCABES@AppleLink.Apple.COM (Alcabes, Harvey)]

Vincent Keunen recently posted a message on INFO-MCL asking about how to order
MCL 2.0B1.  L
ast month I sent two messages to ANNOUNCE-MCL (which should
include everyone on INFO-MCL) titled something like "Macintosh Common Lisp 2.0
Press Release" and "More info on MCL 2.0B1".  In those messages I provided the
description of Macintosh Common Lisp v. 2.0B1 that will appear in the next
issue of the APDAlog.  I also said that these products should be available from
APDA around the end of March.
 
Below is the key ordering information from that message and some additional
information on APDA.  Send me a message if you want me to repost the complete
text of my previous messages.

Related product
"Common Lisp: The Language, Second Edition" by Guy Steele Jr. is strongly
recommended for update customers who don't already have a copy.
 
R0007LL/A   $250.00
 
[Note: The $250 charge for the upgrade is for BOTH a copy of Macintosh Common
Lisp 2.0B1 software and documentation AND a copy of Macintosh Common Lisp 2.0
final software and documentation.  When we release Macintosh Common Lisp 2.0
final we will probably charge  a lower the upgrade price for Lisp 1.x users
(since we won't have to send them two copies of the product).]

Because Macintosh Common Lisp v. 2.0B1 is beta software it is only available to
APDA subscribers (i.e. customers who have signed the APDA customer agreement).
APDA's annual subscription fees are $20 (US address), $25 (address in Canada or
Mexico), or $35 (any other country).  When the final version of Macintosh
Common Lisp v. 2.0 later this year it will be available to everyone, whether or
not they have signed the agreement and paid the fee.
 
Customers outside the U.S. must have returned an "International Letter of
Assurance" and "Product End-Use Questionaire" (found at the very back of the
APDAlog) to APDA before their order can be processed.  You only need to submit
this form to APDA one time.
 
Customers outside the U.S. may be able to purchase APDA products from APDA
programs in other countries.  Contact APDA to find out if there is an APDA
program in your country.
