Here is a link to a very, very, very simple tech cost program for weapons I wrote Last year sometime:
Download techview 0.13
You tell it where to find the components.txt file, and it tries to read that file and the techarea.txt in the same directory. Except for being pretty unforgiving of errors in those files, it will display the info for the default files or modded files.
The program displays a list of weapons on the left and the cost to research each weapon in the family on the right. You can choose low, medium or high tech cost.
I always hoped to someday expand this program to show tech costs for all the components but RL got in the way (that and RTCW).
