We are looking at Dataviews for providing a graphic interface to our product on Suns, but as mentioned it's real expensive. Also the cost of our product will also go up by (2-3k) as you have to pay for licencing it on the product. We need the capabilities like real time display of various graphs, graphics editor etc. supported by Dataviews. I am wondering if there are similar packages available for lesser price or if we wan't do do it ourself are there any PD packages which we can take help from. Thanks a bunch for any pointers. ******************************************************************** Sridhar Acharya Software Engineer. Hughes Lan Systems.
