It's not as heart-stoppingly expensive as it used to be. Also,
Interleaf 5 for DOS, with all the trimmings, is down to $895, and
is a full implementation that runs well on 486 machines. I've always
been surprised that Interleaf promoted it only to existing customers.
Interleaf 6 for NT (now available for Win95 as well) is $995. This is
a far cry from the $15,000 I paid in the late '80s.
