That being said, prices for single CD stand-alone programs generally range between $25-$75. Multiple volume CD sets usually go for between $50-$150. I'd suggest looking at the CALICO Review (http://astro.temple.edu/~jburston/CALICO/index.htm ) to get an idea of features/prices. Look in particular at the Value for Money rating at the end of the reviews to see how they score. Unless your programs offer a high degree of interactivity and extensive exploitation of the multimedia potential of computer technology, they will need to be priced at the low end of the price range. In the case of LCLT for which there is little available, you may be able to target a middle price range. If you aim for top prices, you'll have to provide the functionality expected or risk pricing it out of the market.
