Yes, I guess that I would have to agree with you Murray.  (I didn't
look at the overall pricing structure of RLink, but did feel that $200
was a decently low price.)

I generally think that academic, non-commercial, non-profit, and
retirees should have a 30% or greater discount on software....

That's my general policy for what I do  for Mathematica packages and
consulting.

Perhaps scienceops would respond positively to this if asked..

Best,
David
