Borland have confirmed that the normal cost for objectvision will be $495+$495
(the runtime is for an unlimited license). As Bruce points out for commercial use
then the price is reasonable :-) I was going to use it for much smaller distribution.
Its amazing how many applications fall into the forms category though, and objectvision
is certainly a nice tool. As I have read on the net (and spoken to) some people
about objectvision applications I felt it was necessary to share the licensing
information. By the way, Borland reminded me that there is a license charge for
distributing applications based on Borland C++ 2.0 ($147) !!
