    Manoj,
    
    If you are referring to the Microsoft Select Program, which is a
    program that provides large discounts for quantity purchases of
    licenses, you can contact Ann Latson at DTN 237-5121.  Ann works in the
    Americas MCS organization.

    I telephoned Stream today to get the price to Digital for Microsoft
    Word for Windows 95.  Ordering through Stream in accordance with the
    Software Select policy, as explained by the Stream resource requires
    the following three part numbers.
    
    Microsoft Word for Windows 95 documentation  $27.00    222878
                                  media          $27.00    222881
                                  License        $72.00    224505
    				  Total         $126.00
    
    
    The shrink warp price through Stream is $98.00, but Stream is not
    allowed per Digital agreement to sell shrink wrap software to Digital. 
    It sure does not make sense to me to pay $126 when we can get it for
    $98.  Better yet, CompUSA has it for $89.00.

Point of information, is that the process in Digital Europe is different whereby
Digital purchase all Select product from European Software Center in Galway
via the software Utility process. I believe the reasons for the different
processes between the U.S and Europe are related to the sale of 
Software-800 18 months ago.

In addition to the above, the Select agreement allow the enrollment site
obtain the Select CD and additional CDs (ad additional subscription fee) which 
avoid having to purchase the media for individual products and all you then
have to purchase is the doc.s and license.

Right, just what someone did here: bought a single CD for a crucial set of
products.  Unfortunately, someone lost that CD, which I discovered only
yesterday when I needed it. :-(
