Why redo it if Codeweavers is going to make it work on Linux using Crossover Office and Wine? Not to mention, that by the time you recoded it, there would be a new version or a bunch of new functionality you would have to add or change. Wiat for Codeweavers or wait for the CPRS-R Java version.

A wild guess without seriously looking under the hood - I think something like 3-5 man years will be needed to port it for freedom from Windows. But then if someone has attempted it, or made a better estimate, and would be open to working together, we could look at partnering. The other model is an Open Source one. Anyone interested?
