Purchase of the MODULEF library involves the payment of a one
time Club MODULEF entry fee and an annual license fee. The entry
fee is 2,000 FF for academic institutions and 8,000 FF for industrial
corporations, and the license fee is 4,000 FF for academic
institutions and 12,000 FF for corporations. The exchange rate was
about 5.3 FF to the dollar when this was written.
