Hi Paul, In Canada it is about $12,000 to buy ArcIMS by itself. You don't need ArcView, but if you have it, it makes things easier. If you need to split the load to other servers / CPU's ... its $12,000 more per CPU !! Not sure if there's any reduction for larger purchases.
It took me 1.5 days to get it running properly. From there simple maps using the default viewers are very fast to create from existing MXD files. I'm not sure how this compares to the MapServer tools (the tools for creating .map files from ArcView, or Chameleon) as I do it the hard way, in text editors. As a true blue MapServer person, I still have the bad taste in my mouth for being forced to install ArcIMS, but I suppose every tool has it's uses, especially when a client demands it.
