I'm pretty sure the version for at least one of the platforms it used to
support is now free. I think that is the Atari ST version. I believe the
x86 version still costs money, and while seriously behind Linux and the BSD
varients is being updated still. I seem to remember seening that it
supports X-Windows now.
I really don't know a lot on it. I looked into running it, way back in '92
when I Linux got me interested in UNIX, but I couldn't afford the small
fortune they wanted for it at that time. I've been threatening to run the
version that is available for free for a while now.
