I have recently taken over managing a product which is using the
db_VISTA III network-model database package.  I am putting together a
justification for continuing to use db_VISTA.  While there are some
obvious basic technical reasons why the network-model is more
appropriate for the application being developed, I could use some help
defending staying with db_VISTA rather than going to a 'more
established' relational-model product and 4GL.

Does anyone have any information (statistics, rational arguments,
etc...) which might help me further support a decision to stay with the
db_VISTA product?

Please email me any answers.  If I get any requests to see the
information I collect I will be glad to forward summaries.  If there is
great interest I will summarize to the NET.

Thanks.
