Why is he porting to .Net? Is there something wrong with the current

with that, someone probably didn't optimize it (WWWC has always been a fast

Why do you think it took 2-3 years to write? I developed a system for a
previous client using VFP WWWC, etc. I believe we spent about 8 months in

than what they had.
No, I think your old boss is heading for a disaster if he's stipulating a
.Net solution blindly.
