        There is now a BIG difference in WESTLAW and LEXIS charges for
downloading and printing documents from their legal databases.

     WESTLAW charges 2 cents/line (about $1.00) per page to download or
print documents.
          5 pages $5
          20 pages $20
          50 pages $50
          100 pages $100

     LEXIS moved recently to a flat fee of $3 per document for
downloading or printing legal information (including law reviews!).
          5 pages $3
          20 pages $3
          50 pages $3
          100 pages $3
     
     AND, high volume accounts may receive an additional 12-15%
discount. For example, this year the Mass. state government accounts are
paying only $1.89 per document.

     WESTLAW, ARE YOU SLEEPING?????

     Questions?? Call your local WESTLAW and LEXIS representatives.
