Axiant cost?

[Richard Witkopp]

My exposure to Impromptu is limited to a 2 day class that
felt like it was a month. Maybe it's changed since then, but
it seemed much less powerful than quiz. A multi-pass quiz
run with indexed subfiles, etc. can be stored and executed
in 1 file. Is this also true of Impromptu? Server-based is
much more desirable for us because we can log in from various
locations, not because of processing speed.
