[comp.software-eng] software maintenance costs

jhowatt@blackbird.afit.af.mil (Jim Howatt) (10/09/90)

    We're trying to help some folks decide whether to use a 3rd generation
or 4th generation language on a project.  Part of the cost analysis must
include projected maintenance costs.  Does anyone have any hard information
regarding the difference in cost of maintaining these two different
language types (or references to such info)?  If you e-mail the replies
directly to me, I'll post a summary on the net.
Thanks in advance for your help.
