Sorry for the delay in replying.
A few details follow on the UNIRAS system - note that I am an inexperienced but
enthusiastic user of the system, and *not* an official salesman for it (but if 
anyone wants to give me commission.....:-) )

Costs: no idea for companies, but it is commercially available since it was originally
developed for the oil industry, and is now used by a lot of people in all disciplines.

UK. University/Polys : 1500 pounds p.a. for first site licence, 500 pounds per subsequent
machine implementation - so if you have a VAX cluster that has the main licence, that costs
1500 pounds - for *all* users connected to that VAX.  If you have suns as well, its 500
pounds extra to run it on any/all of the suns.

Contact them for more details.

On a personal note, I like it, its easy to use, for scientists and non-scientists alike,
and draws very pretty piccies!

Russell.
