[Info-vax] DECdocument 3.3H kit

[smithfarm]

I poked around a little and came up with this reply posted by Mike in 
2008. Somebody should call them. Maybe we could negotiate a price for a 
group order of hobbyist licenses. Either that or give up on it and just 
use LaTeX.

Tom, getting hold of them took a little while -- they may well be
concentrating on other enterprise -- however 1-800 525 2527 x721
should get you Julie Capps who replied to me just over a year ago
(Feb 2007) that bug-fixes on DECdocument V3.3h are usually charged
at $120 an hour.

They don't appear to have a standard price list however, at least
a request for one didn't find one forthcoming.

The out-of-date website version info has been like that for years.

The best way to encourage them to support it a little more is
probably for every hobbyist who hasn't already bought one, to buy
a hobbyist licence for it -- they are a business after all.  The
user base is probably too small for them to care much which is a
shame because DECdocument may well be what's justifying some keeping
VMS at all.  Apparently not HP, who appear to have found a way of
aping at least the software.specification doctype/DTD in Frame.
