I was quoted the use of the same product from B2 systems at $10K for proof of concept and investigation, and after that they would give me a firm quote to finish the job. According to B2 Systems, Inc., they are the exclusive U.S. agent for the Comapass (4GL to NewEra) conversion tool. This seemed an incredibly high cost for a conversion tool that is supposed to do the work for you. Concur?
