     Here is a reply from MITI's Direct Sales Manager:

     "SQR license fees are based on multiple variables, not solely
     geared toward hardware platforms.  MITI does attempt to gear the
     pricing as precisely as we can to specific computing environments.  We
     welcome users to contact us at any time for information related to
     their unique configurations."

     "Regarding license transference, the MITI policy is to apply full
     credit for the existing license, thus allowing users to retain their
     full investment in SQR.  This is not necessarily the standard practice
     in the industry, but we feel that this flexibility is a valuable
     benefit to our users who employ SQR as an enterprise reporting tool."

     Regards,

     John L. Kellogg
     MITI Technical Support Manager

I've had SQR running here for several years, first on a VAX, then on a Dec 5900
running Ulrix. My database is Oracle. When I moved from the VAX to the 5900, the
license transfer was very reasonable. Now I'm moveing to a Digital Alpha 2100 on
unix, and have found that the license transfer fee is huge. I would like to know
if others with SQR have had
similar experiences or if you are looking at any other products to replace SQR?
Thanks.
