Fellas, to tell ya what I know, I haven't a clue what it costs. However, our
institution uses a patient care database that lives off of one of the
components of Cache. As a result, we have alredy purchased the licneses we
need to use Cache' for our environment. I haven't a clue what the licensing
costs; howeve, I've heard from other folks around my office that its a lot
cheaper than Microsoft; and that Intersystems (the makers of Cahce') is far
more liberal in their licensing policy than MS.
I agree with y'all about their website having the dreaded "call for pricing"
thing, though. I'm a firm believer in the "Just say what the darn thing
costs, okay?" system.
