Again, I am not talking about SIG Tapes.  I am talking about products
that DECUS sold that were listed in the DEC Software Sourcebooks for
the PDP-11 and VAX.

Maybe a few examples might help,

Dual-Processor RT-11 System - DECUS number 11-436  Price: $5-$225
C Language System, Second Master Release - DECUS number 11-SP-18  Price: 
$5-$225
(This is not DECUS C!!)

And  in the VAX book:

APL-11 - DECUS number 11-SP-25  Price: $5-$225
SEDT: Full-Function Screen Editor Program - DECUS number VAX-93  Price: 
$5-$225

Interesting pricing scheme.  :-)
