I just called Chuck Greene, (919) 279-6547, at AT&T to ask him
more about System V/68000 licensing.  (I got no answer at the
1-800-828-UNIX number, does it really work?).  Two important
points:

	- upgrading from System V/VAX to System V/68000 costs $16000.

	- you can get System V/68000 directly from AT&T, you don't
	  have to go to Motorola.

System V/68000 is designed for the Exormacs environment.  Motorola
has also ported it to their VME/10 system; this may be what you get
when you buy the system from Motorola (for $2000).  To get the system
from Motorola you must have a System V/68000 source license.

Hope that helps clear things up.
