Well, the prices did go down for these documents. It turns out the -01 version has all the info (and more) needed for the intro students, and if I order 15 or more there's a 20% discount; so they end up $4.89 a piece, plus taxes. A fair price indeed.
Actually, the -01 version is _better_ than the -04 version, in my opinion, since the code pages still have the ASCII assignments as well as several EBCDIC code page mappings, while the -04 only has ASCII and code page 037. Of course, the -01 doesn't have the z10 opcodes, but I don't need them for my Intro course.
