I'm not interested in Edwards, but I'd be interested in seeing the pricing
system structure. Where can I find a copy?


It's an "in house" program.  They don't "give it" to anyone because actual
equipment costs are in it.  You wouldn't believe their mark-ups (even to the
wholesalers).  Example:  A smoke card for an old 6500 retails for around
$550.00.  There's about $30.00 in parts on it if you cost them through
someplace like Active Components (electronics wholesaler in Vancouver).
