"It comes at _the_ fraction of the cost." [NT]

[Wilson Gray]

Right, Tony! I've been asked the meaning of [NT] before. At the time,
I suggested that the questioner use the term so as to familiarize
people with the term. Unfortunately, that was the last time that he
posted, some ten years ago, perhaps. However, since I've seen [NT]
used elsewhere, I thought that it was okay to use it here.

Sorry about that.
