The cost is, $250.00 (US and Canada) and $350.00 (International). Please include a check or purchase order payable to UNM EECE Dept., in U.S. funds. If you need additional information or confirmation of your order, call the Khoros Group at 505-277-0806 and leave a message. .PP All communication to the Khoros group should be via e-mail. If you have questions, comments or problems of a general nature, then either mail the Khoros mailing list (khoros@chama.eece.unm.edu), or post to the Khoros USENET news group (comp.soft-sys.khoros). To subscribe to the mailing list, mail to khoros-request@chama.eece.unm.edu. Once you have the system and want to report bugs, mail to khoros-bugs@chama.eece.unm.edu. .SH KHOROS REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS .PP To run Khoros, you must have a UNIX platform running the X11R3, X11R4, X11R5, or OpenWindows servers. The Khoros system consists of ~450,000 lines of C code; you will need a maximum of 120 Megabytes of storage for source, documentation and binaries. To compile Khoros, the system requires X11R4 (patch levels 1-18) or X11R5 (patch levels 1-9) client software from MIT and an additional 50 Megabytes of storage. .LP .TS center doublebox tab(:) expand; c s s l | l | l.
