I once read mention of 3B2 by Taco Hoekwater, when there was a discussion
about the software that TeX is competing with. The idea was we shouldn't
want to try to convert typical WORD or WP using typists / secretaries /
office clerks into TeX users. TeX is not comparable to those applications.
A package like 3B2 is much closer, Taco said.

> The big difference: 3B2 costs 10.000 Euro for the single
> user license!! The automatable (Perl-Skripts?) Server-Version
> costs 25-000 Euro.

;=}} smart marketing!
