~1992 (don't hold me to that date), IBM announced that PartnerWorld was now
pay-to-play, $5K/year. We gritted our teeth and ponied up. One of the
benefits of the new scheme was that you could now get PL/X! So I asked for
it, got a nice minireel.

 

A few months later, they changed their minds. I got to go to my VP with a
good news/bad news story, and they were the same piece of news: IBM was
refunding.most of our money. Seems POK had to pay RAL for the PL/X license,
which they couldn't get back, so they took it out of our $5K.

 

I asked, and we might have been the only ones who had bothered to get the
tape. I don't think I ever got around to installing it!
