Reason: the folks who make it charge an enormous fee for it (and that's for educational institutions). James Jones

The people who make it charge an enormous fee for it? If you think $500,- is an enormous fee for a Pascal and C-compiler for VAX,PDP,68000 and 8086 plus some other goodies and comparitive ease of adding other compilers you must be on a very tight budget. By the way, this must be a subjective statement, since I am one of the authors. -- Hans van Staveren, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam ..!mcvax!vu44!tjalk!sater

How does one obtain this miraculous "Amsterdam Compiler Kit"?
Is there any further write up (in net.lang or net.lang.{c,pas} maybe)?

The information that my roommate received mentioned ONLY a $10,000 fee for a commercial license a similar fee (I am operating from faulty memory, and hence don't recall the exact amount) plus 30% royalty for OEMs No educational fee was mentioned.
