I have serious doubts as to Digitalk's pricing policy.
I'm intrested in buyin their smalltalk for Windows NT.
My local dealer will be glad to sell me a copy but says
that Digitalk's pricing for the NT version is about three
times more expensive than the regular Windows version.

Do they have added functinality in the Nt version that
warrents the tripple multiplier? According to my dealer
the answer is NO! He was actually quite a bit embaressed that 
he couldn't give me a better price. I know that company quite
well as I used to work there and know that they don't overcharge.

Generally the prices for Windows NT programs and Windows have
almost evened out in the light of NT's picking up of popularity
and the similarity between Windows 95 and Windows NT. Why does
Digitalk keep to the OLD pricing policy; I know that I wont
buy their product until they change it.

Any comments? Any body from Digitalk out there?
