   Hello Rick.

   No, they're not free.  They are supported by billions of business computers   
   running Windows.  Many seem to neglect that ArcaOS is very much a niche OS.   
   R&D doesn't come for free and nor does the amazingly complicated process of   
   porting *NIX applications over to ArcaOS.   
      
   With a subscription, you are guarenteeing (sp) support for an OS that has   
   1/10000th of the userbase that Windows has...   
      
   ...but remember, today's Windows wouldn't exist without OS/2.   
      
   Later,
