$1200/seat is trivial?  Just what is your definition of trivial?  I paid $50 for
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Pro.  Not only does this have a code editor built
in, but a compiler, debugger, came with libraries, etc...

I paid something like $45.00 for Delphi 3.0, same things.  In fact, just about
every compiler I have ever bought for a PC came with it's own code editor,
and each was under $100.00.

But, I guess since it connects to an AS/400, we are now to consider $1200
per seat trivial?

*shakes his head in bewilderment*
