The $50 is for Minuet. I've included their readme.txt file below.
I don't know if Minuet is still in development or supported.

Minuet is a DOS-based integrated suite of internet applications. Included in the suite
is a POP mailer
and News, Gopher, FTP, Telnet and WWW clients.
Announcement
The University of Minnesota - Distributed Computing Services is happy
to announce Minuet 1.0 (Beta_18).
Minuet is the Minnesota Internet User's Essential Tool
Minuet is an integrated network application that does E-Mail, NetNews,
Gopher, FTP, Telnet, and now World Wide Web too.
Minuet runs on IBM PC's, from the first lowly 4.77Mhz with 512k up to
the latest Pentium machines. It comes with its own TCP stack, you
just have to supply a packet driver.
Minuet can run in text-only mode on any PC. If you have a EGA, VGA,
or Super-VGA display, Minuet now runs in graphics mode too, adding a
new dimension to Internet Browsing. It fully supports Web GIF and
JPEG images in up to 65,536 displayed colors. (JPEG requires at least
a 386 CPU).
Minuet is distributed as shareware. If after trying the program for
15 days, you decide to continue using it, you must register your copy
by sending us $50. Site licences are also available.
Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] for further info.
You can get Minuet by FTP from
.
This is a self-extracting archive that expands to the minuet program
plus some info files.
We hope you find Minuet to be helpful and enjoyable.
