Try again. db_Vista is now a very professional product with very professional 
pricing. Advertising costs money and all that.

We bought just the multi-user version therof and you'll need to factor your 
listed prices by at least 10 to be in the right neighborhood. 

Actually with the Query/SQL and restructure part you'd be around $7K
 
Of course, getting the source makes all the difference in the world to justify 
your development costs for a very long time across any range of hardware the 
future may hold.
