- I want to thank all of you who responded about my question of
- db_VISTA... I now know that it's NOT FREE...but here is another
- question...
-
- There is an application that we are interested in buying that
- apparently uses db_VISTA or Raima data manager as it seems to be
- called now...we are planning on having the application ported to
- our Unix based platform...if the makers of the application using this
- database do the porting and we get ONLY the Binary code that they
- ported for us, does our division still have to buy a liscence?
- sorry for the stupid question, but I'm quite new to this type
- of stuff.
-
- Again, thank you for your help.
