Reason I ask Jules is that I currently use AB and MarketDelta concurrently... Obviously it would be nice to migrate to one platform and really take control of the output in ways I probably couldn't even manage under MarketDelta. I hadn't taken on the task you seem to have because,
1. I wasn't convinced it could be done logistically or with enough speed to make it a goer without it being written natively by TJ. 2. I wasn't sure, and still aren't, just how big a task it would be. Do you think the bulk has to be written in C++...? For a decent one man programmer are we talking 1 month or 4 months time requirement...? Any feedback would be great...
