I'm in the process of doing a variation of this and based on what I have gleaned from
the mail list archives, I'm going with a CommonAdjust approach and a usertag where one
set of disty's get an additional 25% off.

Something like:

CommonAdjust    pricing:q1,q10,q25,q50,q100,q200:, ;products:price, [disty_adjust]

UserTag disty_adjust Routine <<EOF7
sub {
  my $output;
  if ($Vend::Session->{'username'} eq 'id1' ){
    $output = '&$s-$s*1.25';
  } else {
    $output = '0';
  }
  ::logError($output);
  return $output;
}
EOF7

I haven't all the kinks worked out, but its getting there.

Say Mike, any prospects of re-enabling debugging for 4.0 and bin/ifdef -y -t DEBUG?  I
do not know about others, but I certainly found the info helpful at times.
